CENIT joins ECTRI - Euorpean Conference of Transport Research Institutes

CENIT joins ECTRI - Euorpean Conference of Transport Research Institutes, an international organization officially founded in 2003 to unite the forces of the foremost multimodal transport research centers across Europe and to thereby promote the excellence of European transport research.

The main objectives of ECTRI within the ERA - European Reserach Area framework are:

1. To be a closely knit and institutionalised network of competence centres within European transport planning and research
2. To be the foremost representative of European transport research institutes and an important platform for a cross-cutting, mode-neutral outlook on transport planning and policy
3. To include among its members the foremost centres of excellence in multimodal transport research within their respective European countries
4. To be a preferred scientific partner of dialogue to the European Commission in matters related to transport planning and policy
5. To develop and support leading and widely recognised channels of dissemination of transport research results (as the European Transport Research Review)
6. To support and assist its members in becoming, within their respective countries, the most active and successful contributors to the European Union's framework programmes of research
7. To be perceived globally, in view of the achievement of the above, as a legitimate and respected representative of the European transport research community

By joining ECTRI, therefore, CENIT faces and consolidates one of its main aims for both present and future: that of becoming a reference research center also at an international level.
