WELCOME TO RoCK - REGIONS OF CONNECTED KNOWLEDGE

RoCK, a new major European project, has secured € 5.9 million in European Regional Development Funding (ERDF) under the European Union’s INTERREG IVB North West Europe programme.

RoCK seeks to improve railway connections between international knowledge regions and to make train travel more user-friendly, thus encouraging cooperation. A strong focus is put on getting the most out of existing infrastructure and developing smart solutions to improve the current transport networks.

Behind RoCK are ten primary partners from the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Germany and the UK, with the city of Eindhoven, the Netherlands, taking the lead. Strategic partners are also associated with the project. Together the partners have the critical mass to build on North West Europe’s economic strength.
