Boosting impact generation from research and innovation on integrated freight transport and Logistics system

Project description

BOOSTLOG Vision is transforming European freight transport and logistics R&I ecosystem to perform optimally boosting impact generation out of R&I investment contributing to

• i) EU policy objectives towards climate neutrality, pollution, congestion and noise reduction, free movement of goods, internal security, digital transformation of logistics chains and data sharing logistics ecosystems and
• ii) companies’ sustainability and competitiveness generating value for society.

BOOSTLOG has identified 4 main areas of action:

• i) increase visibility and support valorisation of R&I project Results, Outcomes and Implementation Cases in the freight transport and logistics field
• ii) develop an implement valorization strategies and guidelines to speed up the technological and organisational innovation uptake, including the creation of the Innovation Marketplace and issue recommendations to increase impact of R&I public funding,
• iii) Define high potential & priority R&I gaps to make efficient uses of R&I investments and
• iv) Strengthen R&I impacts communication and Stakeholders engagement in the innovation process.

BOOSTLOG will:

• i) map and assess around 150 EU-funded R&D since FP5 in different freight transport and logistics domains (i.e. the Logistics Clouds),
• ii) Increase the visibility of projects main results, outputs and potential implementation cases through ALICE Knowledge Platform,
• iii) develop at least 8 comprehensive and industry actionable reports starting with:
  • a) urban logistics,
  • b) logistics nodes,
  • c) multimodal freight, corridors & transport networks
  • d) freight and logistics data sharing,
  • e) logistics coordination & collaboration,
  • f) modularization and transhipment to share progress made and highlight the impact achieved through R&I projects,
• iv) develop valorization strategies and guidelines for public R&I uptake,
• v) create the reference innovation marketplace for R&I uptake and
• vi) identify high priority and potential R&I gaps that need to be prioritized in future R&I actions.
