TRAVISIONS 2018 RESULTS

Researchers involved in EU-funded projects from 20 countries and 91 different organisations/companies participated in the 2018 competition. Winners were able to showcase their work on an international stage at the 2018 Transport Research Arena in Vienna, Austria, thus contributing to building a vibrant community of transport researchers working in different modes in Europe. Awards were presented by Clara de la Torre, DG Research and Innovation.

The evaluation was a three-stage process. Firstly, all entries were reviewed for content, eligibility and relevance. Then the remaining submissions were assessed by two independent evaluators against the following selection criteria: scientific impact, policy development, public outreach and economic impact. A shortlist was produced for each transport mode. The shortlisted entries were reviewed by an expert panel on the basis of the scientific and public impact of their EU funded research in order to identify a winner for each mode (road, rail, waterborne and cross-modality).
