Latest news from the 'Transport Research Knowledge Centre'

TRKC re-launched!

The Transport Research Knowledge Centre is back on track! The new-look TRKC offers a comprehensive overview of transport research programmes and projects throughout the European Research Area. At your fingertips you have a wide range of high quality analytical publications on transport themes and policy priorities. The TRKC can also alert you on the latest transport events.

In the coming months we will add extensive new content to the website and make it easier to search for research results. Some 6000 European, national and international research projects will soon be accessible, including all transport related projects from the EU’s 6^th Framework Programme. The website allows you to make searches tailored to your needs. We will also offer updates of our analytical research summaries, enriched with latest research results and policy papers on emerging concerns in the transport field.

Your opinion counts!

The TRKC web portal is there for you. We value your opinion, which helps us meet your needs.

We will send out a survey to our readers in the next couple of weeks. The results of this survey will help us revamp the website and ensure we deliver the information you need. In particular we will aim to improve the user-friendliness and the search functionalities of the database. Thank you in advance for your feedback!
