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.
