374 Ertico – ITS Europe is calling for session proposals and papers for the 14th ITS European Congress, which takes place in Lisbon, Portugal on 18-20 May 2020. Themed ‘ITS: The Game Changer’, the Congress will look in particular at data, focusing on areas such as connected and automated mobility, and new mobility services, as well as transport network design and operations.

A welcome message from European Commissioner for Transport, Violeta Bulc, explains: “The Congress will also specifically look at other topical issues such as digitalisation and data value chain, freight and logistics, illustrating how ITS can be the link between the various modes of transport and the game changer for the different stakeholders.”

Lisbon has been named European Green Capital for 2020, with Bulc praising its environmental management, good urban and mobility planning, and the fact that “citizens [are] at the heart of this transformation”.
