Transport and Mobility - Spotlight on ERC projects
Transport
Transport research encompasses a wide variety of topics in areas ranging from transportation science and technology, impact assessment of transport on environment and health, to the transport policy. The overall aim today is to improve transport infrastructure, vehicles and operations, while reducing its environmental footprint and integrating societal aspects, for example user behaviour, traffic planning and urban design. This diversity of topics and approaches is reflected in the portfolio of transport research projects funded by the European Research Council (ERC) across the areas of physical sciences and engineering, life sciences and social sciences and humanities. A sample of these projects is highlighted in this brochure as their lead researchers will be presenting their results at the 18th Transport Research Arena, (TRA), taking place from 16 to 19 April 2018 in Vienna (Austria).

Ageing healthily: European scientists unlock the molecular secret behind bat longevity

Scientists led by ERC grantee Emma Teeling have identified part of the molecular mechanism that gives bat species Myotis their extraordinary long and healthy lifespans. The longest-lived bats can live over 41 years of age while weighing only 7g,…

From blue-sky research to market: New independent review praises ERC innovation initiative

On the whole, ERC-funded projects prompt innovation, but the study found that those backed by Proof of Concept grants are even more effective in this respect. A survey compared the performance of Proof of Concept grantees to a control group of ERC…
