Abstract [en]
A number of areas within the North Sea Region are located at a distance from the main economic agglomerations of their countries and lag behind in terms of socio-economic development. Key elements in development are connectivity and accessibility. In line with the European Commission strategy document "A sustainable Future for Transport - towards an integrated technology-led and user-friendly system", the ITRACT (Improving Transport and Accessibility through new Communication Technologies) project aims to improve those capacities through innovative transport and communication concepts. Contributing also to the Digital Agenda of Europe 2020, the project will focus on the development and use of ICT applications to boost efficient, environmental- and user-friendly transport concepts in order to reverse the spiral of decline in remote areas.
