At the end of the workshop, participants will be expected to:- have acquired a solid overview of the FP7 Transport Call published in July 2011 and of how to read through the objectives and respond to them in a precise manner,
- have understood the groundwork and networking required for preparing a proposal for a FP7 Call,
