CURACAO and SILENCE positively evaluated by EU citizensIn the framework of the MOVE TOGETHER project, agroup of citizens assessed a wide range of EU research projects and issued the following statement: http://www.move-together.net/docs/Move%20Together%20Citizens%20statement.pdf. The citizens are quite happy about what Europe does in the field of transport research but ask for a higher involvement of citizens and for more understandable communication tools for the general public (especially websites). The SILENCE Project on transport noise abatement (dissemination leader: Polis) was cited as a good example in terms of citizen’s involvement and a positive assessment was also given to CURACAO.
