Planet project celebrates kick-off meeting
Planet (progress towards federated logistics through the integration of TEN-T into a global trade network) has celebrated its kick-off meeting. Planet is a research and innovation project co-founded by the EU through the Horizon 2020 mobility for growth programme.
With a duration of 36 months, Planet joins 33 organisations with the vision of advancing the European Commission’s strategy for smart, green and integrated transport and logistics. Planet will thus promote the development of tools to bring infrastructure more in line with geopolitical developments.
The project organises its activities around three living labs: physical internet and block chain for optimised door-to-door Asia-Europe corridors, Mediterranean corridor (synchro-modal dynamic management of TEN-T & intercontinental flows promoting rail transport) and the internet of things for the Silk Road route – a reliable, transparent and fully connected corridor from China to the EU.
