The European project LIAISON – Lowering transport environmental impact along the whole life of the future transport infrastructure – is gearing up for its 4th Stakeholders Reference Group (SRG) workshop, set to take place online on November 13th at 9:30 CEST. Project partners have outlined a rich and engaging draft agenda for this next SRG […]
How can Europe make its transport infrastructure more sustainable — not just in design, but also in how it’s procured and maintained? In the latest LIAISON interview video, Lorcan Connolly from Research Driven Solutions (RDS) introduces the Dynamic Multi-Infrastructure Governance Framework (DMGF) — a key innovation helping transport owners and operators to understand and demonstrate […]
“Decarbonisation is the glue that holds everything together,” says David Garcia Sanchez, Principal Investigator at Tecnalia and coordinator of the LIAISON project. “But decarbonisation is not just a concept – it has to be translated into practical, technical solutions that infrastructure managers can really use.” In this in-depth interview, David shares how LIAISON is driving […]
On 26 September 2025, the European Researchers’ Night was celebrated across the continent, welcoming more than 1.5 million people of all ages into museums, universities, and research institutions in 460 cities across 25 countries. Visitors had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of science through games, discussions, experiments, and a wide range of […]
LIAISON project partners at TECNALIA introduce a cutting-edge, AI-driven method to monitor bridges at asset level with higher precision—and it’s already making waves in structural health monitoring. Bridges are some of the most important parts of our transport system, but checking their safety is not always easy. Engineers usually rely on inspections and traditional sensors, […]
The LIAISON project is helping to make Europe’s transport systems more sustainable. A new study by project partner Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute shows how giving railway tracks a “rubber boost” could make them last longer and reduce waste. Railway ballast – the layer of crushed stones beneath the tracks – plays a […]
Earlier this month, the LIAISON consortium met in Rome for the project’s fourth General Assembly. Hosted by Autostrade per l’Italia at the Villa Fassini Training Center, the two-day meeting on 10–11 June brought together partners from across Europe to check in on progress, share updates from the field, and make sure everything stays on track […]

As Europe works to create a more sustainable and efficient transport system, coordination between modes and across the infrastructure life cycle is crucial. The latest deliverable from the LIAISON project, D1.1 LIAISON DMIGF Methodology – Initial Version, introduces a robust methodological framework designed to assess and implement circular economy principles in transport infrastructure (TI). Known […]
As the EU advances toward greener infrastructure, materials innovation is becoming crucial. Concrete, an essential material for the construction of major infrastructure and the mainstays of Europe’s transport network, is a major contributor to carbon emissions due to the energy used to produce clinker, the principal component in cement composition. Through its demonstration site in […]
The European project LIAISON – Lowering transport environmental impact along the whole life of the future transport infrastructure – is gearing up for its 3rd Stakeholders Reference Group (SRG) workshop, set to take place online on June 4th at 9:30 CEST. Following a productive week of internal meetings, project partners have outlined a rich and […]
The world’s first photovoltaic guardrail might turn roads and highways into energy sources. Developed to enhance sustainability, this groundbreaking innovation could help decarbonize Europe’s transport infrastructure. Yet, experts warn: “For such solutions to become reality, we need more opportunities to implement our innovative approaches” by Diego Giuliani If in a few months you happen to […]
