Our Project

RACE2050 foresight study aims to identify key success factors for sustainable growth of the European Transport industry and for policies which can increase its strength in a long perspective up to 2050.

Lessons from previous foresight studies and visions will help create an integrative foresight, which will enable the European transport industry maintain its leading position in world economy up to 2050.

Key success factors will be identified. Important drivers of change will be extracted by analyzing current policies, emerging technologies, energy and environment aspects, demand forces, geopolitical trends and other relevant domains.

"Wild Cards" analysis will provide additional important inputs.
General Morphological Analysis (GMA) will be used to integrate and assess a multitude of driving forces for alternative scenarios.

Expected Results

• Novel scenarios for 2030 and 2050 on the competitiveness of the European transport industry.
• Recommendations for the necessary policies, including research policies, to reach the goals of desirable scenarios.
• Web-based interactive foresight synopsis tool, envisioned to create a long-term legacy for stakeholders.
