The project progress is presented in the newsletter http://www.ncl.ac.uk/newrail/news/item/newrail-newsletter-july and includes also information about a regional workshop held in Serbia, focusing on the West Balkan region including Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia, and Bosnia Herzegovina. Another workshop in Turkey covered also Albania.

Hosted by UBMaF - the University of Belgrade, the theme of this workshop was the capabilities and capacities in the West Balkan region including Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia, and Bosnia Herzegovina.
Barriers and possible drivers of the transport research development in the region were identified and participants were presented with an overview of the transport research situation of the countries in the region and recommendations for improvement addressed to policy makers, researchers and all other transport actors.
TransNEW - Regional Workshop Turkey
Hosted by the Turkish Partners TUBITAK this workshop covered the capabilities and capacities in the South Balkan and Mediterranean region including Albania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Malta, Moldova, Romania, Turkey. All of the participants agreed that the number of research programmes currently in transport in this region is insufficient.
