Strategic t Transport ttechnology Plan (STTP) Marcel Rommerts European Commission DG Mobility and Transport n 1
EU 2020 Strategy t Flagship initiative iti Resource efficient i Europe : proposals for clean and more sustainable transport (Transport White Paper) Flagship initiative Innovation Union : develop strategic research agenda, innovation chain, synergies through hbetter coordination n 2
Why? Transport Policy perspective Clearer view on realistic, long term advances in transport- and facilitating technologies Clearer view on resulting long term policy requirements (legislation, standardisation, ) Clearer view on resulting long term financial implications (market take up, deployment, ) Better co-ordination financial instruments n 3
Why? Research + Innovation perspective Stronger alignment R + I and transport t policy Better management of innovation pathways Better exploitation of synergies (EU, Member States, industry) Clearer view on long term financial needs (research, innovation, ) Better co-ordination financial instruments n 4
STTP Objectives Better exploit the contribution of R + I If Inform policy on benefits and requirements -> by identifying key technologies Key issues to be tacked: Levels of finvestment in R + I Management of innovation processes, fragmentation of efforts Pressure on timing (need to act) Need for long term portfolio approach, avoiding technology lock-in Lack of availability of harmonised data and information n 5
