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.
