Conference: Mobility reforms transforming the EU’s transport sector
2020-02-04 14:30 - 17:30 (Europe/Brussels) | Brussels
Conference on Mobility reforms transforming the EU’s transport sector, co-organized by the Permanent Representation of the Slovak Republic to the EU and Uber.
The event will take place on 4 February 2020 at 14.30, at the Slovak Permanent Representation premises on Avenue de Cortenbergh 79, Bruxelles 1000.
Ride-hailing services are growing across the EU, offering citizens and cities convenient shared transport options. These solutions have the potential to transform urban mobility, complementing public transit and reducing private car ownership.
As local authorities and national governments try to create or adapt legal frameworks to bring these services onboard alongside traditional operators, it is vital that emerging best practice from around Europe is shared and learned from. In this regard, recent developments from the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region have shown the way to transform the mobility sector without leaving traditional operators behind.
This event will bring together key stakeholders to discuss existing best practice in regulatory reform and exchange views on what can be done at national and EU level to enable these services to grow and develop as part of a sustainable multi-modal transport system.
Speakers include:

Matthew Baldwin, Deputy Director-General – DG MOVE, European Commission
Peter Varga, Director General for Road Transport – Slovak Ministry of Transport and Construction
Eddy Liegeois, Head of Unit, Road Transport – DG MOVE, European Commission
Philippe Crist, Advisor for Innovation and Foresight for the International Transport Forum (ITF) – OECD
Karen Vancluysen, Secretary General – POLIS
Kalle Palling, Co-Founder of insurtech startup Cachet, former MEP and father of Estonian taxi liberalisation reform
Horst Heitz, Executive Director – SME Europe
Emmanuel Mounier, Secretary General – EU Travel Tech Association
Annabelle Huet, Expert Legal Affairs – UITP
Zuzana Púčiková, Head of EU Public Policy – Uber
Moderator: Laura Shields – Founder and Managing Director of Red Thread EU

Highways England Hackathon I Milton Keynes
2020-02-08 11:00 - 2020-02-09 15:00 (Europe/Brussels) | Milton Keynes, 170 Midsummer Boulevard, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom
The Connected Places Catapult has joined forces with Highways England to unlock the value of data on the UK’s Motorways in an intense 2-day hackathon.
We’ll provide a wealth of data from traffic flows, accident information to the location of every piece of hardware on the network. Competitors will be asked to find ways to aid decision making & planning, improve safety, provide a better service to road users and find new ways to reduce disruption from maintenance.
At the end of the event a panel of judges, including senior decision makers at Highways England will pick the best idea based on a pitch presentation from each team. They’ll be looking for:
Solutions that combine different models and/or data to:

Improve safety on the network (for instance predicting or reducing the likelihood of accidents)
Optimise delivery of asset maintenance or major works
Provide improved service to road users

Solutions which find new and consistent ways of digitalising and tracking multiple HE assets to:

Provide better insights to the leadership team
Help assess the impact of planned works or design changes
Deliver efficiency savings across road operations (i.e maintenance schedules)

You can check out the information briefing to help you shape your solutions for the best chance to win!
Who?
Teams of up to 5 can participate. You are welcome to form teams beforehand or join up on the day!
Our aim is to have a number of perspectives, so SMEs, Start-ups, Academics, Students and Hackathon Pros are all welcome. We’ll need coders, data visualisers and data scientists, innovators, business strategists and planners to help us make the most of all the lovely data we have!

Empowering mobility with secure and accessible data
2020-06-03 14:00 - 16:00, 2020-06-04 14:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Brussels)
Data-driven innovation will bring enormous benefits for citizens in the area of mobility and it will reshape the way we produce, consume and live. ERTICO is organising a two-day virtual conference supported by its valued Partner BlackBerry to promote the discussion between the private and the public sector on needs, requirements, business bottlenecks and safety concerns in data-powered mobility.
The European Commission, in its European Strategy for Data published earlier this year refers to the establishment of the Common European Mobility Data Space that will position Europe at the forefront of the development of an Intelligent Transport System. Discussions and debates about the future of mobility continue and are more topical than ever. Due to the global health crisis caused by COVID-19, transport policy is being re-visited and re-shaped both in Europe and globally. This dialogue is being intensified during the temporary ‘pause’ experienced by the transport sector due to COVID-19.
This Virtual Conference Empowering mobility with secure and accessible data will address the issues that are underpinning the effectiveness and safety in mobility and the existing mobility schemes currently available and it will discuss the potential for clean mobility at a time when priorities for decision-makers and users might be changing. A new mobility paradigm is being created out of necessity (our urge to move vs our need to be safe) and the plans of the European Commission to proceed towards common European data spaces along with the discussion on stakeholder cooperation in data sharing has to finally yield results.
Four distinct panels will tackle these issues with distinguished speakers providing a clear direction on the new and innovative developments taking place in the mobility sector. The Virtual Conference will take place on 3 and 4 June 2020 from 14.00-16.00. There will an opportunity for participants to pose questions to the Speaker panels.

The Virtual Conference: Empowering mobility with secure and accessible data is organised in the context of ERTICO’s efforts to support the continued ITS conversation and the voice of the ERTICO Partnership.
