ALICE Thematic Groups (TGs)
Members can join thematic groups to discuss and agree on research and innovation needs, define actions, and contribute to the implementation of ALICE roadmaps. The current TGs include:
- TG1. Efficient and low emission assets and energy
- TG2. Corridors, hubs and synchromodality.
- TG3. Systems & Technologies for Interconnected Logistics.
- TG4. Global Supply Network Coordination and Collaboration.
- TG5. Urban Logistics.
TGs members are expected to participate in TG activities. Online web-meetings and webinars are mostly used whenever possible to develop the activities. Additionally, face to face meetings (1 per year max) in a European city: London, Brussels, Paris, Madrid, Amsterdam or similar could take place. TG members may review and contribute to the documents generated by the ETP, specifically the research and innovation roadmaps and the research and innovation topic recommendations presented to the European Commission in preparation for Horizon 2020 calls and programmes such as Horion Europe.
If your decisión on joining one thematic group is still not clear for you after going through this information then you may fill in ALICE membership application form first, then we can exchange directly and decide which Thematic Group/s fit(s) better the interest and expertise you will bring.
