The European Transport Conference
2016-10-05 - 2016-10-07 | Casa Convalescencia, Sant Antoni Maria Claret, 171, , Barcelona, 08041, Spain
The European Transport Conference is the focus of the activities of the Association for European Transport and is the key annual event for European transport practitioners and researchers. The Conference is a “meeting of minds”, where transport professionals come together to keep up-to-date with policy issues, research findings and best practice across a broad spectrum of transport. Papers are presented by active professionals, selected by the most respected members of the transport profession in Europe.
Uniquely in Europe, the Conference provides a forum for the coming together of research, policy and practice in transport. The Association is committed to providing a meeting place for transport practitioners and researchers from all parts of the world, from new entrants to the profession to established senior figures.
If you come to the Conference, it may be to present a paper or to listen to others but you will find yourself in the midst of an expanding network of professionals who are committed to a common cause of understanding the transport agenda to be tackled in Europe and its neighbouring countries. The key importance of networking is reflected in the Conference structure, which provides ample opportunities for informal discussions and social meetings.
Each year, the Conference attracts new delegates who find that it is a unique event in Europe, where they can find in-depth presentations on policy issues, research findings and best practice across a broad spectrum of transport modes. Equally, about one third of delegates come every year – confirmation of the quality technical and policy papers and the overall excellent value for money of attendance. Market research consistently rates highly the value for money offered by the Conference.
The organisational structure of the conference encourages participation in Programme Committees – seen by many AET members as an important networking and professional development opportunity.

European Launch of the GLEC Framework
2016-11-15 10:30 - 13:30 | Stanhope Hotel, Rue du Commerce 9,, Brussels , Belgium
The Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) of industry initiatives, associations and leading multinationals involved in freight movement led by Smart Freight Centre, invites you to celebrate the launch of a universal and transparent way of calculating logistics emissions: the GLEC Framework.
Companies need to transport products to millions of customers around the globe. Leading companies want to be competitive and more environmentally sustainable by improving freight efficiency, tracking greenhouse gas emissions and lowering costs. Including the carbon footprint of logistics activities in business decisions (alongside costs, time and reliability) is only possible if emissions can be calculated consistently at a global level across road, rail, air, sea, inland waterways and transhipment centers. For the first time the GLEC Framework 1.0 provides this guidance, allowing multinational shippers and carriers to compare and select more fuel efficient modes and carriers and identify ways to increase efficiency.
The launch of the GLEC Framework follows a year of consultation and validation with GLEC partners such as Hewlett-Packard, Kuehne + Nagel, DB Schenker and DHL, as well as the issuance of the GHG Protocol Built on Mark. A next step is to mobilize companies to apply the GLEC Framework and integrate it into, for example, industry tools, green freight programs, and national standards and policies.
The agenda will be available soon, meanwhile register here.
Download your copy of the GLEC Framework: a universal way to calculate logistics emissions is finally here!

“How to procure innovative transport and mobility solutions” Webinar
2016-11-17 14:00 - 15:00
Objectives

To give knowledge on different approaches to innovation procurement procedures under the EU procurement directives
To share good practices on public procurement from Rijkswaterstaat (Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, the Netherlands);
To discuss challenges and opportunities to use public procurement to implement innovative solutions.

Who Should Attend

Public procurers such as national, regional and city administrators, road operators;
Providers and researchers of innovative transport and mobility solutions.

Description
The fast development of technologies creates many challenges for traditional public procurement, and in many cases the desired innovative solutions cannot be adopted by using a traditional procurement strategy. The EU public procurement directives, e.g. DIRECTIVE 2014/24/EU, provide the legal framework for the utilisation of innovation procurement approaches. This webinar aims to share knowledge and good practices on smart procurement in the transport sector and discuss challenges public procurers and industry face.

Speakers

Dr. Bahar Namaki Araghi, City of Copenhagen

The challenges of public procurers face

Lasse Stender, Northern Denmark Region

Approaches to innovation procurement

Fred Zijderhand, Rijkswaterstaat

Example of Public Procurement in the Rijkswaterstaat

Organisers
This webinar is organised by the SPICE project. SPICE is a Horizon 2020 supposed Coordination and Support Action (CSA) project, with a focus on sharing knowledge and experiences on innovation procurement in the transport sector.

SocialCar Conference
2016-11-22 | Regione Lazio – Logo Room – 8th floor, Rond Point Schuman, 14, Brussels, 1000, Belgium
New consumer behaviour – new business opportunities. SocialCar in the sharing economy
The sharing economy has rapidly gained in importance over the last few years, affecting traditional market sectors including mobility and logistics, retail and consumer merchandise, tourism and leisure.
Collaborative consumption, rethinking the value of ownership, consumers becoming service providers are factors which herald in a paradigm shift in global consumer behaviour.
Recent business pairings such as KLM and Airbnb, Toyota and Uber, Volswagen and Gett, GM and Lyft reveal the readiness of big corporations to embrace the change.
But is the European small business ready yet? Europe is still missing an adequate regulatory framework, and the small business sector keeps a safety distance.
SocialCar, a European research project funded by Horizon 2020, pursues the mission to kick-start business models in the passengers’ mobility sector capitalising on the sharing economy. The project develops a user-oriented platform for planning, booking and integrated payment combining carpooling and other on-demand services with regular collective transport, in an effort to mainstream the concept of a public-private co-modal urban transport. Business analysts devise concepts for viable and bankable service models which can ripple out across Europe.
Can this become a role model for other sectors as well?
SocialCar is about sharing and collaborative development. Software engineers, business analysts, transport experts, carpooling providers and public authorities from Italy, Greece, United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Poland, Switzerland, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Croatia, Slovenia, the Netherlands, Hungary, Spain and Belgium are collaboratively inventing a unique solution made in Europe.
The SocialCar community is growing, and now it’s time for you to have a say. We look forward to meeting you in Brussels!
Register here for the event!
Further information will follow soon.

Intelligent Transport Systems: a Tool or a Toy?
2016-11-22 - 2016-11-23 | University of Žilina, Budova AS, Univerzitná 1/8215, 010 26, Žilina, Slovakia (Slovak Republic)
This conference is co-organised between the COST Association and the University of Žilina, the latter as European Research Area (ERA) Chair (ERAdiate project) on International Transport Systems (ITS), and is held under the auspices of the Slovak Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

The aim of this event is to bring special attention to the role of research organisations in providing evidence to the policy makers for shaping the right ecosystem in ITS, and to the role of the industry, and in particular small and medium enterprises (SMEs), in delivering innovative, sustainable and interoperable solutions. Particular attention will be given to two important pillars of future mobility: Autonomous driving and Mobility as a Service (MaaS).
This two-day conference will take place in the context of a new legal framework (Directive 2010/40/EU) that was adopted by the European Union on 07 July 2010, to accelerate the deployment of the ITS across Europe.
According to the European Commission’s White Paper on Transport, new forms of mobility have to be proposed for overcoming reliability, environmental safety and affordability issues towards sustainable solutions for the transport of people and goods. Until now, advancements in research and technology have significantly contributed to this recommendation by integrating multidisciplinary approaches, and having addressed the fragmentation of knowledge in ITS.
However, the deployment of widely used interoperable and seamless ITS solutions is still lagging behind the expectations, both in terms of their sustainability and competitiveness, as well as integrating their socioeconomic impact at regional, national and pan-European level.
The Programme and additional information will be published shortly.
Please note: Due to the limited seating , Registrations are on a first-come-first-served basis .
Free online Registration: http://forms.cost.eu/itstooltoy-registration
On 24 November, from 10:00 to 13:30, we will also host an Introduction to the COST Framework
This half-day event, where national research communities are informed by representatives of the COST Association about the COST Framework’s policies, activities and funding opportunities, with an emphasis on the Open Call for new COST Actions proposals, andCOST Action representatives from the specific countries showcase the outstanding results of their participation in COST Actions and share their experiences and best practices.
You are also invited to join this event should you be interested. Registration is included in the link above.
