NRP 41 "Transport and Environment: Interactions Switzerland / Europe"
The National Research Programme "Transport and Environment: Interactions Switzerland / Europe" (NRP 41) intends to become a think-tank for sustainable transport policy. It shall supply contributions from all relevant disciplines towards the efficient and sustainable satisfaction of mobility needs.
The main focus is on the complex limits of mobility, in particular those resulting from the protection of humans and the environment, as well as the economy (competitiveness) of Switzerland and her regions. Furthermore, special attention is given to Switzerland in the European context.
