Behind the development of modern transport infrastructures and services lay well-trained, qualified and competent staff . This is the target of the EU-funded project, Strengthening Transport Training institutes in the NIS, part of the broader TRACECA (Transport Corridor Europe-Caucasus-Asia) programme, an international transport cooperation initiative between the EU and its Partner Countries in Eastern Europe, South Caucasus and Central Asia. Team Leader Rene Meeuws tells the ENPI Info Centre in an interview that this is a key link in the transport chain: “We are trying to improve the training capacity of universities and other higher education establishments that breed transport specialists.” The project develops new curricula and teaching techniques in transport planning and teaches university professors how to teach these subjects.
