Purpose
Norway must become a low-emission society by 2050 and the transport sector must plan for major changes in the years to come. With major societal changes towards 2050, there is a need for more knowledge about how the transport system as a whole should be developed and how the transport sector will be affected by different types of shocks and changes in framework conditions. With this initiative, we want transport research that is more directly aimed at the authorities' need for a scientific basis for planning and prioritisation. The research activities must be interdisciplinary, and the possibility of using the research results in practical policy formulation and the exercise of authority is emphasised.
