Abstract

In Horizon 2020, funding for research and innovation in the railway area was entirely channeled through the Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking (Shift2Rail). Shift2Rail was founded in 2014 as a Public-Private Partnership between the European Union (EU) and the rail industry and aimed to coordinate and manage EU research and investment in the rail sector. From the current financial perspective - Horizon Europe - the successor to Shift2Rail, is Europe's Rail Joint Undertaking (EU-Rail). The new rail partnership aims to enable the European rail network to play a vital role in the Green Deal policy for environmentally friendly and energy-efficient mobility. In 2017, the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR) and PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe (PLK S.A.) established a Joint Undertaking, Research and Development of Railway Infrastructure, with the acronym BRIK. The program supports research and development (R&D) work in railway infrastructure and aims at increasing the Polish railway potential. The article provides a critical-cognitive analysis of selected joint R&D projects in the railway sector at both European and national levels. The activity of the Railway Research Institute (IK) in international and national projects is also presented. The article attempts to answer the research question: Are European and national programs supporting research in the railway area an appropriate and sufficient funding source? The research methods used included source material analysis, comparative approach, data analysis of the EU, Railway Research Institute, National Centre for Development Research (NCBR), and case study.
铁路运输研究经费的选定来源
在“地平线2020”计划中,铁路领域的研究和创新资金完全通过Shift2Rail联合项目(Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking)提供。Shift2Rail成立于2014年,是欧盟与铁路行业之间的公私合作伙伴关系,旨在协调和管理欧盟在铁路部门的研究和投资。从目前的财务角度来看,Horizon Europe是Shift2Rail的继承者,是欧洲铁路联合企业(EU-Rail)。新的铁路合作伙伴关系旨在使欧洲铁路网络在绿色协议政策中发挥至关重要的作用,以实现环保和节能的交通。2017年,国家研究与发展中心(NCBR)和PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe (PLK S.A.)建立了铁路基础设施研究与开发联合企业,首字母缩写为BRIK。该计划支持铁路基础设施的研发工作,旨在提高波兰铁路的潜力。本文对欧洲和国家层面铁路部门选定的联合研发项目进行了批判性认知分析。还介绍了铁路研究所在国际和国家项目中的活动。本文试图回答一个研究问题:欧洲和国家支持铁路领域研究的计划是一个适当和充足的资金来源吗?采用的研究方法包括资料分析、比较法、欧盟数据分析、铁路研究所、国家发展研究中心(NCBR)和案例研究。
