European Launch of the GLEC Framework
2016-11-15 10:30 - 13:30 (Europe/Brussels) | 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.

“How to procure innovative transport and mobility solutions” Webinar
2016-11-17 14:00 - 15:00 (Europe/Brussels)
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

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!

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.

When: 16 December 2016 – 10:00 to 11:30 CEST
Registration: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/[REDACTED]
Contact: Giacomo Somma (g.somma@mail.ertico.com)
Details: The Compass4D project is one of the most successful stories in terms of C-ITS deployment in Europe. Co-funded by the European commission under the CIP – Competitive and Innovation Programme, the project ended in 2015 but the seven pilot cities have continued to operate their services outside the European funding together with about 50 public and private organisations. The partners involved in the continuation operations have extended the coverage areas in the 7 cities as well as in other cities, added new C-ITS services, and increased the penetration rate of equipped commercial and public transport vehicles.
Now, one year later, we look at the state of play and future perspectives in the deployment of innovative solutions for connected and automated driving, with a special focus on ITS Living Labs in Europe.
Five presentations will outline the progresses made and future plans in the Compass4D cities of Bordeaux and Helmond, as well as in Austria, Finland and Spain.
The webinar is free of charge, but registration is required.

The EU took a strong position in the global fight against climate change at the 2015 COP21 summit in Paris by setting an ambitious target of reducing emissions by 40 percent by 2030. Now it must turn this commitment into action. Ensuring transport contributes its fair share to these emissions cuts appears to be a near-insurmountable challenge.
In Europe, transport’s oil dependency makes cars, trucks, airplanes and ships the single biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions. Road transport is a particular problem and responsible for 73% of total transport emissions, because Europe’s 290 million road vehicles are over 90% reliant on oil.
There is a wide range of low-emission transport alternatives that can alleviate oil dependence and slash emissions in road transport: everything from batteries and ethanol to more efficient engines and smarter transport systems. But how soon can these solutions be scaled up to achieve significant emissions reductions?
The transition to low-emission transport can only be achieved through cooperation among carmakers, consumers, energy companies and technology providers, as well as national and EU regulators. Binding targets to reduce the carbon intensity of road transport fuels and promote the use of renewable energy by 2030 have been set. However, the recent European Commission’s “Clean Energy Package for All” proposes a phase out of conventional biofuels — the biggest source of renewable energy currently in transport. Is the 2030 objective now unrealistic? What solutions will national governments devise to meet emission cuts?
This event will gather high-level EU and national policymakers, industry representatives, energy experts and environment groups for a frank conversation on how to rev up transport emissions reductions efforts, without wrecking European mobility and competitiveness.
Questions to be addressed at the event include:

What transport technologies will help Europe speed up emissions reductions?
What are the benefits and drawbacks of these technologies?
Should national governments or the private sector take the lead in the transition to low emission transport solutions?
Can policy makers assure the contributions of low emission transport energy such as electricity and ethanol are maximised?
