- OBJ 2 To develop a knowledge framework and sustainable freight transportation toolkit to help the decision makers to make informed decision for sustainability of freight transportation.
- OBJ 3 To establish and strengthen India – EU strategic partnership among 6 leading research clusters for research and innovation by: a. Establishing individual mobility schemes for European researchers b. Strengthening and sustaining the partnership through joint publication and joint research funding applications (initially objective 8 in concept note) and c. Building new capacity through training programmes and joint PhD projects.
- OBJ 4 To create a multi-disciplinary network of freight transportation companies, technology providers, manufacturing companies and researchers.
- OBJ 5 To increase the knowledge sharing, visibility and impact of the project by organizing seminar, information days, workshops and a conference by involving multiple stakeholders from wider academia, industry and policy makers outside the cluster.
