Why the EU supports research and innovation in transport

The way we live and travel is changing. At the same time our transport system needs to adapt to global realities such as climate change and digitalisation.

Reducing transport's impact on the climate and natural environment is the most urgent priority, in order to meet COP21 Paris Agreement commitments and align with broader EU transport, climate and energy goals.

Research plays a crucial role in achieving the ambitious targets the EU has set in these key areas.

The Strategic Transport Research and Innovation Agenda (STRIA) outlines what the EU is doing to speed up the research and innovation needed to radically change transport.

Transforming transport will also be key to delivering the EU's next research and innovation funding programme and in particular the Horizon Europe Mission area on climate-neutral and smart cities.
