The Scandria® Alliance
The Scandria®Alliance is a transnational communication and cooperation platform for transport and regional development. It serves to link more than a dozen metropolitan regions with approximately 100 million inhabitants. One of its aims is to strengthen the shortest connection between Scandinavia and the Adriatic region in terms of infrastructure and economy.
The idea is based on the bundling of forces in an alliance of partner institutions, which have already carried out various cooperation projects together in the past, e.g. within the framework of the EU INTERREG programme, and support new project ideas on common themes for corridor development between Scandinavia and Adria region.
Green Logistics in focus
The Transport Logistics Research Group is currently working with a number of national and international partners in the international project "InterGreen Nodes", in which approaches and instruments are being developed to make transhipment in ports, as well as transport over the last mile, greener and more energy-efficient, without losing business management aspects. The project is funded by the European Union under the INTERREG B Central Europe programme and runs until 2022.
