Future Highways Research Group: a partnership between ADEPT & Proving Services

FHRG prospectus2

ADEPT and Proving Services have been in partnership since 2018. Under the umbrella of the Future Highways Research Group (FHRG), ADEPT members can freely access the findings, analytical tools, datasets and thought leadership generated by research coordinated by Proving Services.

FHRG, attended by sector leaders, offers opportunities to debate, design, develop and test innovative solutions to prevailing and emerging challenges in the highways sector.

The main aim is to give ADEPT local authority members the chance to support strategic transformation, drive the implementation of sector-based innovation and deploy continuous value for money improvements.

FHRG and the Value for Money Benchmarking Club is a single research and benchmarking membership with an all-in annual fee of £4,950 + VAT. The annual membership fee provides unrestricted access to the research outputs of the FHRG and will also include an independent, biennial VfM Assessment, as well as access to the anonymised VfM benchmark data.

Please take a look at our prospectus for further information about FHRG.
