Join the Community FRIENDS FRIENDS FRIENDS FRIENDS of OPEN ENLoCC
Becoming a member is not the only way to get in contact with us. European Projects allow to develop several activities in the field of logistics, and most of the projects have a successful collaboration. But as soon as the project (and funding) is closed, the cooperation disappear. This means that length of EU projects are too short to implement a collaboration in the long term.
According to the EU database, by today (26th April 2021) 66 projects were funded in the In the last Programming Period 2014-2020 under the INTERREG Programmes. It means 574 Partners around Europe, all of them working in the field of transport and logistics.
Each project produced added values, synergies, activated important contacts at transnational and local level to better implement the activities of the project, and then to make the freight transport and logistics sector more efficient and green. Almost all the projects defined strategies and roadmaps on how to implement them at local and transnational level. But continuity is a barrier, as most of those Organizations do not have possibilities and tools to continue.
OPEN ENLoCC aims to create a community of organizations (non members of the Network) in order to:
- Give continuity to the #Transport4Cohesion position paper, submitted by more than 170 Organizations in Europe to give continuity to the Transport policy in INTERREG;
- Exchange experience in the freight transport topic at regional level;
- Create a database of freight-transport-related organizations;
- Activate new synergies between Members and non Members;
- Support the development of new INTERREG Programmes;
- Support the development of the MACRO REGION STRATEGIES.
To keep alive what has been created in the last years, OPEN ENLoCC Members, according to the decision taken during our last General Assembly in 2021, decided to create a parallel community for all those Organizations dealing with freight transport and logistics with a regional scope.
As a starting point, it was decided to invite Organizations from those projects in which Open ENLoCC Members were also involved. For example, between 2017 and 2020, ITL and some other members, were involved in several Interreg Adrion projects related to freight transport (e.g. ADRIPASS, NEWBRAIN, ISTEN).
