cruise tourism. It will build on the existing pan European
dialogue between cruise operators, ports and coastal
tourism stakeholders.

02 02 77 XX

This PP aims at developing new transnational products
and services to combat seasonality. These new products
and services should be developed through the creation of
networks and synergies with the various destinations and
cooperation between coastal, maritime and mountain
regions.

The aim of this PP is to explore the bottlenecks, including
the cross-border ones, with special focus on rail and
inland waterways. A study would be necessary helping all
stakeholders, including TEN-T coordinators, to better
examine and map the actual situation and the way
forward.

06 02 77 XX

The objective of this PP would be to increase the
competitiveness of the shipping companies operating on
the Danube. It would be important to understand how
competitive are and which structures, such as training
institutes, banks, marketing organisations, already exist
that could support them in strengthening their
competitiveness.

The PP should evaluate a new design for the EU airspace
architecture based only on traffic flow efficiency, direct
routes, and the most efficient number of control centres.

The PP aims at finding out how a functional
redevelopment of the docks of the ports could generate
services for vessels and at the same time be a source of
income for the inhabitants of the smaller islands.

This PP aims at testing an innovative de-pollution
workboat equipped with a compact generator that
produces hydrogen, using raw materials with very high
diffusion and a very low cost of retrieval, extraction,
processing and delivery, as “short chain” and therefore
low environmental impact.

06 02 77 XX

This PP would seek to assess where, along the TEN-T core
network corridors, there is a potential for developing
multimodal information, planning and ticketing services.

06 02 77 XX

The aim of this PP is to develop a digital platform for
urban transport itinerary fitted for people with reduced
mobility. The pilot project will first support the collection
of information about barrier-free mobility in urban areas
and then connect the information to one common online
platform, which should ideally be accessible via a mobile
app and similarly accessible information tools.

06 02 77 XX

This PP should show good practice examples for shared
mobility initiatives that interconnect with public
transport services in different EU rural areas. This can
lead to better knowledge, exchange of innovative ideas
and practises, comparative studies, and can encourage
SMEs to be active in this growing and diverse business.

06 02 77 XX

The aim of the PP is to support awareness actions as a
first step towards developing alternatives to the use of
private cars. The actions should aim at encouraging
behavioural changes with regard inter alia journeys

The aim of the pilot project is to assess the
implementation of new technologies and practices in
order to achieve a better sustainable urban mobility in
the EU. The evaluation should take into account
innovative technologies such as connected and
automated vehicles in the local transport, considering
both public and private vehicles, straddle buses, etc., and
their impact on urban mobility.

06 02 77 XX

This PP should assess and evaluate new practices and
solutions in road safety, through awareness campaigns,
exchange of views and best practices, training, education,

cooperation and exchange of information between
national authorities and assessing and evaluating the
possible creation of an European database containing all
the details and the data of driving licences, in particular
of people working in the freight transport sector in
Europe. Such a database could let all the authorities
