RESTORE: Proposal title REsilient and Sustainable TranspORt infrastructure in European corridors
HORIZON-CL5-2026-01-D6-07
RESTORE is an Innovation Action that seeks to support resilience, sustainability, circularity and biodiversity across Europe’s TEN-T transport network. The TEN-T is essential for the freedom of movement and goods that underpins the European economy, and corridors represent the most strategically important part of the network. Much of the network is already in place, but further significant construction planned in the coming years; these activities must progress alongside the maintenance of existing infrastructure. This is all happening within a dynamic environment, as Europe strives to decarbonise construction processes and boost circularity, while also taking measures to address the biodiversity crisis and make our network more resilient when faced with disruptions. This must all happen in a way that is transparent and cost-effect and provide value for Europe’s citizens.
RESTORE will meet these challenges by shifting from traditional engineering practices to a new, holistic approach for managing transport corridors and nodes. RESTORE will leverage advances in digital technologies and apply this to 4 key principles. RESTORE will:
- Build resilience through adaptation
- Support the circular economy and reduce embodied carbon through the use of more sustainable construction materials
- Generate positive impacts to network users, ecosystems and biodiversity through the increased use of nature-based solutions
- Develop and validate solutions that are suitable for all transport modes
RESTORE will target environmental, technical, social, organisational and economic aspects, and apply innovations to pilot sites that cover all transport modes and all life cycle stages. This approach will be validated with the support of a strong multidisciplinary team covering the entire value chain. Clear measures of success are identified, and these will drive innovation in climate resilience and sustainable transport practices.
