TIGER Transit via Innovative Gateway concepts solving European-Intermodal Rail needs

Coordinator: CONSORZIO PER LA RICERCA E LO SVILUPPO DI TECNOLOGIE PER IL TRASPORTO INNOVATIVO (IT)

The recent EU Commission paper on the establishment of a “Primary European Rail Freight Network” is the confirmation that Europe wants to develop a long term freight sustainable mobility.Infrastructure investments are costly and take long time to come to fruition. Hence force the need to adopt a realistic mid term strategy for developing the use of freight trains to bridge the gap up to when the new infrastructure investments will be completed delivering the much needed capacity.These goals can be achieved by removing over time the conflict on the same rail tracks between freight and passenge…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €10.3M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 3 years from 2009-10-01 to 2012-09-30.
