Development projects in the field of multimodal freight transport
in (mainly)
DG TREN, and
DG INFSOC.

- To provide wider dissemination, of facts,
ideas, and results arising from research in the 5th FP, and other
EU actions to promote multimodal freight transport, to wider European

a website, newsletters, etc.
- Finally, to provide direct channels of
