German version: click
The long-standing relationship between the Scandria®family and the University of Applied Sciences Wildau was formalised through an associated partnership on 02nd of November 2021. The Scandria®Alliance takes up the challenge to connect and further strengthen the regions, communities and economies along the geographical corridor between Scandinavia and the Adriatic Sea through clean and smart transportation.
On 2 November 2021, the General Assembly of the Scandria®Alliance took place in Berlin. Representatives of the cities and regions of the alliance met here to agree on even closer cooperation in the future and to agree on new collaborations. On behalf of the Technische Hochschule Wildau Universyt of Applied Sciences (TH Wildau) the consortium was represented by Prof. Klaus-Martin Melzer, Vice President for Research and Transfer. Guido Beermann, Chairman of the General Assembly and Minister of Transport of the State of Brandenburg, presented TH Wildau with the certificate for an associated partnership.
Prof. Klaus-Martin Melzer emphasised the outstanding position of TH Wildau as part of the Berlin-Brandenburg capital region and the associated geopgraphical location at the intersection of three TEN-T corridors (Trans-European Transport Networks) in the TEN-T network. The European integration of the alliance and the associated activities of the last three decades have led to dynamic growth, especially in the area of freight transport and logistics, but have also contributed to many developments in other areas such as spatial development and infrastructure policy.
The research group transport logistics (FGVL) at TH Wildau has been part of the cooperation with the Scandinavian-Adriatic Corridor family for decades. Since 2004, the TH Wildau was a joint partner in the ECO4LOG project, a project funded by Interreg Central Europe to develop a logistics service concept for the Eastern Border Corridor IV. Since than, the FGVL can look back on an almost uninterrupted partnership in other EU projects such as INTERIM, SoNorA, Scandria and Scandria2Act. Currently, the research group is continuing the success story as the lead partner of the actual Interreg Central Europe project InterGreen-Nodes.
In addition to TH Wildau, Minister Beermann welcomed the regions of Emilia-Romagna (Italy) in the south and the cross-border region of Kvarken Council (Sweden-Finland) in the north as new members, as well as Logistics Initiative Hamburg, Port of Hamburg Marketing, the Chambers of Commerce of the Veneto region and the European Network of Logistics Competence Centres (OpenENLoCC) as associate members of the Scandria®Alliance.
