Projects of InstituteProject title Increasing the Capacity of Freight Transportation Infrastructure on EU-Ukraine Borders
Сoordinator of the project: Assoc. Prof. Khrystyna Prytula Research team from the Institute: Ph.D. Yaroslava Kalat, Ph.D. Anna Maksymenko, Dr., Prof. Mariana Melnyk, Ph.D. Iryna Leshchukh The project implementation deadline: 10.2022 - 03.2024 Project Partners:
The project provides a study of prospects for capacity building of existing border crossing points and opening new ones. Moreover, it focuses on the investigation of the capacity of existing and planned network of transshipment and multimodal terminals in Ukraine and neighboring EU member states (three of which are countries of the V4 region), and on the assessment of prospects for adaptation of the European and Ukrainian freight markets to the requirements of the European Green Deal. The project activities include a number of events (discussions, round tables, conference) as well as analytical materials and research articles based on the project's results.

Round Table “Freight traffic flows across EU-Ukraine: current trends and future prospects” is ongoing to held online on 8 December 2022 Round Table “Freight traffic flows across EU-Ukraine: current trends and future prospects” is ongoing to held online on 8 December 2022. Partners from Ukraine will present research concerning existing capacity of road and rail border crossing points at the land border with EU-Ukraine. Participants will discuss ways to increase freight capacity flows at EU-Ukraine land border through existing border crossing points, bottlenecks of transport infrastructure at the border regions of Ukraine. Partners from EU-countries will present topics about the existing transport network (road and rail), infrastructure development from their side of the border as well as regional, national, EU legal framework concerning prospect for increasing the capacity of existing border crossing point or opening new ones at Poland/Slovakia/Hungary/Romania land border with Ukraine. An event program can be download here. 08.12.2022. Round table "Freight traffic flows across EU-Ukraine: current trends and future prospects" (in online format) Congratulatory Speeches:
At the round table, project partners from Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania have highlighted and discussed the study results concerning the existing capacity of road and railway border crossing points on the border Ukraine with EU member states, eliminated bottlenecks as well as ways to improve performance of BCPs.
