The EU-funded PLATINA4Action project aims to promote inland waterway transport (IWT) in Europe through targeted coordination and support activities. Starting in January 2024, the project will run for 36 months, concluding at the end of 2026. PLATINA4Action bridges the gap between current IWT research and future innovation needs. It focuses on deploying green and connected inland waterway transport soon, evaluates NAIADES III, and prepares a policy agenda.
The platform acts as a catalyst, uniting expertise, stakeholders, and research in European Inland Waterway Transport. It builds on the network and knowledge developed in the PLATINA3 project, funded under Horizon 2020.
The PLATINA4Action consortium collaborates closely with the European Commission DG MOVE to implement and evaluate the NAIADES III Action Plan and develop a new policy agenda for IWT. This interaction involves the NAIADES Implementation Expert Group.
Stakeholders are invited to participate actively in our series of 3 Stages, each of them aiming to elaborate and accentuate relevant topics.
Main topics to be discussed during the Stage event are:
- EU Transport Agenda – Updated policy priorities and the role of Inland Waterway Transport (panel discussion);
- Evaluation and development of European IWT Policy;
- Developing a comprehensive labelling system for inland vessels on European waterways;
- Drafting a comprehensive RD&I roadmap for IWT;
- Paving the way for roll-out of zero-emission solutions for IWT.
