'Transport research arena', Athens, Greece
23 April 2012 - 23 April 2012
Greece
An event entitled 'Transport research arena' will take place from 23 to 26 April 2012 in Athens, Greece.
Transport affects day-to-day life in many areas, from consumer decisions based on the availability, or lack, of transport alternatives to societal priorities and beyond. With many facets and challenges to examine, there is a great deal of research effort and funding devoted to the field.
The event will be a forum for stakeholders contributing to innovation in sustainable mobility for Europe. It will bring together all surface transport modes (rail, road and waterborne (sea and inland)), with the participation of three European Technology Platforms (ETPs): the European Road Transport Research Advisory Council (ERTRAC), the European Rail Research Advisory Council (ERRAC) and the European Technology Platform Waterborne (WATERBORNE).
The conference programme will be built around five different types of sessions:
- plenary sessions, where keynote speeches will address some of the most important issues in the transport sector and the transport sector's role in future society;
- strategic sessions, where experts and scientists from different fields will speak about topical transport issues;
- technical sessions, where experts will address one or more of the technical topics chosen for the conference;
- poster sessions;
- special workshop sessions, where issues of special interest in the transport sector will be discussed.For further information, please visit: http://www.traconference.eu(opens in new window)
