What they do
Their core work
IMT is Portugal's national authority for land transport, overseeing road and rail mobility policy, regulation, and safety standards. In H2020 projects, they contribute regulatory expertise and real-world policy perspectives on urban mobility planning, connected automated driving on cross-border corridors, and transport research coordination. Their role is that of a public regulator bringing institutional authority and policy alignment to EU research consortia working on the future of mobility.

Evolution & trajectory
How they've shifted over time
Early focus
Sustainable urban mobility planning
Recent focus
Connected automated mobility policy
IMT's earliest H2020 involvement (2016) centered on sustainable urban mobility planning through the Prosperity project. By 2018-2019, their focus shifted toward more technology-driven themes — 5G-enabled automated driving and international transport research coordination. This suggests a gradual move from traditional urban transport planning toward digital mobility and connected vehicle policy frameworks.
IMT is moving toward the regulatory and policy dimensions of automated and connected transport, making them a relevant partner for projects needing a national authority's perspective on deployment readiness.
Collaboration profile
How they like to work
Role: specialist_contributorReach: European24 countries collaborated
IMT has participated exclusively as a partner, never coordinating an H2020 project. With 98 unique partners across 24 countries from just 3 projects, they operate in large, diverse consortia typical of EU transport initiatives. Their role is that of a policy-side contributor rather than a research driver — they bring institutional legitimacy and regulatory context to technically-led projects.
Despite only 3 projects, IMT has connected with 98 partners across 24 countries, reflecting participation in large-scale European transport consortia with broad geographic representation.
Why partner with them
What sets them apart
As Portugal's national transport authority, IMT brings something most research partners cannot: direct regulatory authority and policy-making power in the land transport domain. For any consortium needing to demonstrate real-world deployment pathways or regulatory alignment in Portugal, IMT is an essential type of partner. Their small project portfolio reflects selective participation rather than active project-hunting, which is typical for public authorities.
