SPRINT Project Releases Reports on Sustainable Procurement in the Railway Sector

The SPRINT is pleased to announce the release of the latest Working Packages publicly on Green Public Procurement for Sustainable and Circular Rail Systems in Romania and Norway. These documents provide an in-depth analysis of current procurement challenges, best practices, and strategic recommendations to enhance sustainability in the railway sector.

These reports, conducted under this EU project, are the result of dedicated research and studies by our Scientific Researchers and key opinion leaders in Norway and Romania. The University of South-Eastern Norway (USN) and Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai (UBB) have played a key role as the academic partners of this initiative, while Sporveien, as the industrial partner, has contributed invaluable expertise and collaboration. This project represents an outstanding showcase of industry-academia collaboration at the EU level.

At the heart of the SPRINT Project is our dedication to transparency, knowledge-sharing, and fostering sustainable procurement practices. We believe that by making this data publicly available, we can empower policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers to make informed, data-driven decisions that will accelerate the transition to sustainable railway infrastructure.

As sustainable procurement plays a crucial role in advancing environmentally responsible railway infrastructure. our publicly available Policy Briefs serve as a strategic tool for decision-makers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to drive forward sustainable railway projects in alignment with European and national sustainability objectives.

The Initial Situation Reports, available in two versions for Norway and Romania, serve as a crucial foundation for understanding the railway sector's sustainability landscape and its alignment with international green procurement strategies. It provides valuable information for stakeholders, policymakers, and researchers interested in the future of sustainable railway procurement.

These documents as our Working Packages: Green Public Procurement for Sustainable and Circular Rail Systems in Romania and Norway are now available for public access. Stakeholders are encouraged to review the findings and collaborate on solutions for a greener railway industry.

Stay tuned for further updates and research outputs from Project SPRINT.
