Main themes and objectives Easyconnecting Project Koper (Slovenia), 9th June 2016 WP4-WP6-WP7 Main themes and objectives Integrating and upgrading existing multimodal freight transport services Gain specific common guidelines to develop sustainable freight transports, based on multi-modal choices, through cross border cooperation agreements for harmonized freight transport policies and services. In depth analysis of existing bottlenecks, of O/D flows. WP5-WP7 Developing new and modernize existing multimodal physical and non physical infrastructure Identify the punctual (micro) investments needed to overcome those limitations especially in ports of the Adriatic area in order to verify their potential development in freight transport services. Analysis of the current limitations of the transport network WP3-WP5-WP6 Stimulating institutional cooperation and capacity building Capitalization of previous experiences in the Adriatic area and shared among partners and stakeholders and signing of MoUs/Position Papers to be disseminated by the Partnership at different institutional level. Exchange of know how, experiences and best practices This Project is co-founded by the European Union, Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance 3
