Projects worth €21,2 million, are expected to be funded under the Europe’s Rail Call for Proposals 2023 covering Flagship Area 1, dedicated to network management planning and control, mobility management in a multimodal environment, and digital enablers, as well as Destination 8, answering to exploratory research and other activities. The application period is open until 7 February 2024 at 17:00 CET.

With this Call for Proposals, the Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking intends to build synergies with the SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking, promoting an integrated air and rail network backbone for a sustainable and energy efficient multimodal transport system in Europe. The topic further supports the work done in Europe’s Rail Flagship Area 1.

In addition, with this Call, Europe’s Rail will strengthen its exploratory research activities, essential pathfinders for future R&I, covering topics such as noise and vibration, future metro systems, biodiversity, disruptive asset management solutions, extending the network of PhDs, and DAC fleet retrofitting and capacity plan.

Additionally, on 4 October the Info Day 2023 took place online and gave participants an overview of the Europe’s Rail Research and Innovation Programme and introduced the possibility of getting involved in making rail a more attractive transport mode both for people and businesses in Europe. You can download the presentations and watch the recordings of the Info Day here.
