- Mobility management and policy;
- Mobility management and implementation.

Special workshops will address the issues of:

- Mobility management and reconstruction;

- Critical factors to the success or failure of mobility management;
- Mobility management, human behaviour and marketing.

Particular attention will be given to the results of the MOMENTUM (Mobility Management for the Urban Environment) and MOSAIC (Mobility Strategy Applications in the Community) large-scale research projects on mobility management, both supported by the EU within the framework of its specific research programme in the field of Transport.

Speakers at the conference will include the Dutch Minister of Transport and Mr. Neil Kinnock, European Commissioner responsible for transport policy. Ministers of Transport from the other EU Member States are also expected to attend.
