With the contribution of the LIFE programme of the European Union - LIFE14 ENV/GR/000611
European Transport Innovation Challenge 2017
The EU is committed to cutting CO2 emissions by at least 40% by 2030 and by 80% by 2050. With transportation accounting for one quarter of CO2 emissions, there is a need to radically transform the way people and goods are transported.
The European Commission launches the European Transport Innovation Challenge 2017, a new award offered to young transport innovators for creative solutions for goods and services that will contribute to reducing CO2 emissions in transport. This Challenge will help move the EU along the path of decarbonisation and sustainable growth.
The solutions can be the result of research, can be in any transport mode, and in many different sectors linked to transport, such as solutions in healthcare, retail or food sectors. The key word is innovation.
The prize will be an all-expenses trip for 12 young innovators aged 18-35 to Strasbourg (France) for the ITS Congress and Exhibition in June 2017.
The deadline for applications is 2 May 2017 at midnight.
