In a row of constructive and productive workshops another important step to a successful trans-national research Programme has been done.
Analyzing the needs and wishes of the National Road Administrations (NRA) the different Strategic Research Objects (SRO) were determined and their Project and Research Opportunities were reviewed. After intensive and deep going research work two SRO Workshops were planed and successfully done with the two research topics “Road Owners Getting to Grips with Climate Change” and “Holistic Approach towards Sustainable Roads”. Continuing the concentrated work two task forces under the chair of Austria and the Netherlands were initiated to make programme proposals and to coordinate the follow-up.
