Session 2: More Co-operation - Better Research?

SESSION IN ENGLISH


A number of research co-operation programs in the Nordic countries and in Europe have by 2008 reached results or midterm evaluation - for instance the ERA-NET ROAD project and the Nordic road and transport research co-operation program NordFoU veg&trafik. We evaluate and debate the impact of these programs and projects: do they provide the research and development our sector needs or do they just meet some formal requirements for "more co-operation"? Is the European Research Area a reality? What do we see if we compare the programs of the road administrations, of the infra contractors or the car manufacturers? Have we found out which are the truly useful methodologies?

- A flock of projects or flood of programs, will we ever learn to focus? Anders HH Jansson, Finland.

- NordFoU veg&trafik, a small-scale program for large-scale systematic co-operation; Maria Meiner, Denmark.

- Building a new framework for trans-national European research; Tom Warras, Finland.

- Creative partnerships for effective programs;
Anders Lundström
, Sweden.

- Trying to find and implement the useful results,
Kjersti Kvalheim Dunham
, Norwegian Public Roads Administration
