EARPA calls on the EU Institutions to significantly increase the current RD&I budget in view of next FP10 via a joint statement with 109 other European Associations.

Two weeks ago, EARPA had an exhibition stand at the Transport Research Arena (TRA) conference in Dublin (15 - 18 April 2024).

The 2-day event attracted nearly 200 attendees, which included EARPA Members and other professionals from the European road mobility and automotive sector.

EARPA members played pivotal roles, either moderating sessions or presenting their latest innovative results in road transport from Horizon 2020 at the RTR Conference in Brussels last week.

EARPA's President Christof Schernus, Vice-President Gaetano DE PAOLA, and Policy Officer Elise Ekström had the opportunity to meet with DG RTD at the European Commission.

EARPA is proud to share the co-signed open letter urging for continued investment in battery research and innovation under the Horizon Europe programme.

EARPA member Eurecat is leading different European projects contributing to create and develop innovative solutions to move towards a more sustainable, lighter, safer and circular future automotive and mobility sector.

The European SELFY project is to develop a self-assessment and self-protection toolbox to enhance the security and resilience of Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM) systems against potential cyber-attacks and malicious actions. This is at a time when around 50 million connected and automated cars are expected to be on the road in Europe by 2026.

The Cluster of European projects was created in 2019 with the Horizon 2020 projects ACHILES, EVC1000, FITGEN, SYS2WHEEL, TELL and CEVOLVER. The Cluster is now continued with projects from Horizon EUROPE.

VERSAPRINT is set to redefine the battery landscape, focusing on enhancing safety, sustainability, and performance. This ongoing battery project has strong participation from EARPA members as coordinator and partners.
