Call For Papers - CFP

under “Regions of Knowledge”, 7th Framework Programme. The pro‐

ject brings together five clusters from different European regions:

Canary Islands (ES), Bremen (DE), Marmara (TR), Calabria (IT) and

Ruse (BG) with the aim to enhance intermodality in their regional

transport systems, foster the economic developments of the regions

and improve clusters’ capacities and performance.

INTRAREGIO is organizing the first international conference on “The

future European strategy for intermodal transport” which will be held

in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on 17th and 18th April 2013. Besides

raising awareness and knowledge on the regional situations the event

aims at:

? giving advice to regional authorities and further stakeholders

on the coordination of RTD policy development and support

the consideration and integration of transport related con‐

cerns into policies;

? formulating recommendations to private and public RTD ac‐

tors on research strategies to be tackled in the future and

spread knowledge on successfully developed technologies

and procedures for improving transport modes;

? presenting and debating on successful cluster policies and

strong innovation systems supporting the exploitation of re‐

search results on the market in order to find new approaches

for the promotion of innovative activities.

The event will provide also the possibility to attach importance to the

needs of the emerging clusters involved in the project that today are

characterised by a lesser developed research profile and/ or unsatis‐

factory economic development and RTD policies.
