The success of today’s logistics sector can be attributed to the EU’s long-term investments in research and innovation, which drive progress in the logistics industry. Led by ETP ALICE, the BOOSTLOG project will promote knowledge sharing and encourage the adoption of innovations in the sector.

The project aims to:

  • systematically and logically summarise key results and outcomes from more than 160 EU-funded R&I projects and make them widely available and accessible.
  • develop and implement a strategy to overcome barriers to the deployment of EU-funded R&I projects, thus accelerating the innovation acquisition.
  • identify and prioritise R&I gaps in logistics research that addresses today’s and tomorrow’s needs.
  • facilitate knowledge exchange on best practices in government funding of R&I in the logistics sector at regional, national, and European levels.
  • reach out and engage with more researchers and companies to participate in future R&I projects.
