Ricardo-AEA has been awarded a major three-year contract to run the European Commission’s Transport Research and Innovation Portal (TRIP) – a public, online platform that shares up-to-date information on transport research projects and activities across Europe.



The work is intended to ensure TRIP continues in its role as Europe’s “one-stop shop’ for comprehensive and reliable information on a wide range of resources related to transport research.


In addition to collating results, Ricardo-AEA will conduct robust analyses and reviews of the findings included within the portal to ensure TRIP provides a high quality information and data. The company will also be responsible for disseminating the latest research findings to the European transport research and policy communities through regular and engaging updates.



Ricardo-AEA practice director for sustainable transport Sujith Kollamthodi said: ‘TRIP plays an important role in supporting European transport research. By making the latest results easily accessible and disseminating updates to researchers and policy makers, it can support Europe’s progress towards safer, more sustainable, competitive and less congested transport. Our team is very much looking forward to working on this project. We are confident we can make a number of improvements to TRIP that will help make its information portal even more accessible and reach the wider research community.’



The work builds on Ricardo-AEA’s track record of delivering similar knowledge sharing and awareness raising projects such as the European Commission’s Online Resource Efficiency Portal and the United Kingdom’s Sciencewise Expert Resource Centre.
