SAVE THE DATE! Cluster 5 - Climate, Energy & Mobility at the Horizon Europe Info Days

The first edition of the Horizon Europe Info Days is taking place online on June 28th until July 9th.

This 10-day fully-virtual event covering 9 themes will present the new funding opportunities with exclusive discussions and hands-on sessions on the EU's biggest research and innovation programme.

European Commissioner for Transport Adina Vălean, in cooperation with the German Presidency of the EU Council, has the pleasure to invite you to the 3rd Digital Transport Days taking place virtually on 18 November 2020.

The next Digital Transport Days will be the occasion to better understand what role digitalisation plays in enhancing resilience against pandemic. Join us and participate to exciting presentations, which will be animated by high-level speakers and moderators. Thematic sessions will focus on the following topics:

The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC) will launch the JRC report ‘The future of road transport - Implications of automated, connected, low-carbon and shared mobility’ during a high-level public event, which will take place at the JRC in Brussels (CDMA Atrium, Rue du Champ de Mars 21, Brussels) on 21 June 2019 from 11:00-14:00.

The event aims to bring together policymakers, academia and the private sector to highlight the report's insights and discuss its implications for EU policy.

To address the challenges faced by the European railway industry with a focus on passenger experience, innovation and security, the Joint Research Centre (JRC), together with the European Standardisation Organisations CEN and CENELEC organise a workshop on “Railways of the future".  

The output of the event will allow to adjust standardization priorities and implementation roadmaps.

This 10-day fully-virtual event covering 9 themes will present the new funding opportunities with exclusive discussions and hands-on sessions on the EU's biggest research and innovation programme.

This workshop allows urban mobility practitioners, relevant stakeholders and the public to have their say on urban mobility policy and priorities being addressed at the European level, and on specific actions to be included in the European Commission’s Urban Mobility Initiative.

Following an introductory panel discussion, participants will be invited to provide feedback during three break-out sessions on: political challenges (by invitation only), active and shared mobility, and public and collective transport.

This workshop allows urban mobility practitioners and stakeholders to have their say on policy and priorities being addressed at the European level related to urban freight transport and logistics, and on specific actions to be included in the European Commission’s Urban Mobility Initiative.

It is being organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport (DG MOVE) in cooperation with POLIS and ALICE.

This workshop allows urban mobility practitioners and stakeholders to have their say on policy and priorities being addressed at the European level related to Urban Vehicle Access Regulations (UVARs), and on specific actions to be included in the European Commission’s Urban Mobility Initiative.

In particular, it aims to gather feedback on how cities and stakeholders see the further roll-out of UVARs within the EU and what the EU can do to keep them effective.

The final event of the BE OPEN project will be held online on June 9th, 2021 from 13:00 to 16:00 CET (Central European Time), shedding light on the topic of "Making open science the new normal for transport research".

The BE OPEN project is a H2020 coordination and support action (CSA), which aims to promote, regulate and standardise Open Science in transport research. More information: https://beopen-project.eu/
