Abstract

Transport research is crucial for the development of transport policy and solving current and future problems of transport market functioning and its impact on social and economic life as well as on the environment. Transport is global and at present it seems to be more and more important to develop a wider approach in transport research and to support international cooperation in this field. In this paper the relation between transport policy objectives and the EU strategy for international cooperation in the research and innovation (R & I) field has been analyzed. Additionally barriers of international cooperation in transport research are identified at the level of legal, institutional, financial, technological, and social and behavioral aspects. Some solutions to overcome these obstacles are also proposed.
