Researcher in Charge:	JoÃ£o Figueira de Sousa
Team:	AndrÃ© Fernandes
Funding Entity:	União Europeia
Goals:	TrainMoS aims at supporting and training the human element of Motorways of the Sea by defining the basis for a future EU virtual open MoS University and by pulling together local competences and knowledge of different EU universities along with stakeholders’ needs. TrainMoS will develop an MoS knowledge base at EU university level by testing an e-learning MoS knowledge platform (within an ICT learning infrastructure) through the preparation of seven EU wide pilot actions by seven Member States (Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, and Greece). The participation of the seven universities and their students will create a critical mass which will allow for the development and testing of a European academic module in 7 MoS related subjects that should meet the needs of the freight transport industry actors.
