SCORE Final Conference
2018-03-15 10:00 - 16:00 | Fondation Universitaire, Rue d'Egmont 11, 1000 Brussels, Belgium
The Coordination and Support Action “Scoreboard of Competitiveness of the European Transport Manufacturing Industry” (SCORE) explores, assesses and forecasts how progress in research and development, new innovative technologies and future demand changes in combination with forthcoming geopolitical and geo-economic developments will affect the global competitive position of the European transport manufacturing industry. The analyses focuses on the four major transport manufacturing industry’s segments automotive, aeronautical, ship-building and rail rolling stock and has a time horizon up to 2030 (and partly to 2050). Based on these assessments, several development scenarios were elaborated in order to compare competitiveness evolution for each of the industry segments. The findings are summarized and visualized in a so called scoreboard that indicates in an easily accessible way the current and future competitive position of the European transport manufacturing industries compared to their global rivals.
The main goal of the conference is to present and discuss the project’s results with a broad audience including the Industrial Advisory Board, representatives from the European Commission as well as further stakeholders. During the conference one session will be exclusively dedicated to sharing and discussing results with coordinators of other European projects as well as stakeholders from European Technology Platforms in order for them to receive input for their further work and activities and to increase future collaboration.
