We have entered into a cooperation agreement with the Pomeranian University of Science and Technology (PSW) to work together in the areas of research, education and development of the transportation sector, with a particular focus on projects co-financed by the European Union.

From 6 to 8 May 2026, the Centre for EU Transport Projects (CUPT) organised an international event dedicated to public participation in infrastructure projects. Over three days, experts from Poland and several European Union countries discussed how to effectively conduct dialogue with local communities — and how to prevent conflicts before they escalate into crises.

European funds, appropriate legal regulations and involvement of local communities are among the key elements in creating conditions for the development of sustainable urban mobility, the participants of the 4th SUMP Conference pointed out. Among the speakers was Joanna Swiderska of CEUTP.

Do EU funds really build transportation accessible to everyone? The discussion at the 57th TOB meeting showed that a formal framework is not enough: accessibility is determined by the entire system – from design, through testing with real users, to measuring effects. The conclusions are concrete: mandatory pre-commissioning test walks, a standard for multi-channel passenger information and analysis of data on actual use of solutions. Here are the conclusions of the 57th meeting of the Transportation Research Observatory.

During the “Institution Building Days 2026” conference held in Brussels on April 22-23, 2026, Poland was honored by the European Commission with the prestigious “TAIEX Champion” award.

The increasing frequency of extreme weather events means that the climate resilience of transportation infrastructure is no longer an add-on to design, but is becoming a core component. This is one of the most important conclusions of the 4th Congress of Designers and Engineers, which took place on April 16, 2026 at the Copernicus Science Center in Warsaw.

Dual-use infrastructure is becoming one of the pillars of transportation resilience to crises – from extreme weather to geopolitical threats. The webinar “Resilience in Motion” by CUPT’s Transport Research Observatory showed how to combine everyday civil functions with security needs, and what lessons can be learned for investment planning in Poland.

What does Polish transportation look like after 20 years in the European Union? Are we really catching up with European leaders, or are we still halfway there? Participants in the first meeting of the new TOB@SGH series sought answers to these questions.

On December 4, 2025, a study visit entitled “Funds on the move – how European Funds, local governments and the community are shaping urban mobility” was held in Poznań, which we organized in cooperation with Poznań City Hall and MPK Poznań.

The Centre for EU Transport Projects has signed two agreements on support for projects implemented by Śląskie Voivodship and Koleje Śląskie (Silesian Railways). They concern 10 vehicles in total – both agreements are for the purchase of 5 electric multiple units compliant with the newest technical standards.

PLN 765 million from European Funds will support the construction of a new A2 section of over 63 kilometres, which will connect Siedlce and Biała Podlaska. The expansion of the A2 highway is one of the key infrastructure projects in eastern Poland, which will contribute to improving transportation accessibility, road safety and economic development in the region.

We solemnly exchanged signed contracts with the Railway Transport Authority for funding of the Rail ABC Campaign. This will be the 3rd EU-funded edition of this educational campaign. The amount of EU funding is exceeding PLN 62 million.
