With the theme of ‘Innovative maintenance of Transport Infrastructure: Faster, cheaper, more reliable, safer and greener’, FIRM15 aims at mapping the problems and challenges of innovative maintenance of transport infrastructure; sharing different visions of the future of infrastructure; and gaining a common understanding on the roles of R&D&I in infrastructure, as well as describing emerging R&D&I solutions and their corresponding drivers and challenges.

The programme is organised into five sessions - one engaging  plenary, three technical sessions including a strategy view point introduction from transport infrastructure owners, and one dynamic round table discussion on ‘Investing in innovative transport infrastructure, a critical matter at stake for European competitiveness and social cohesion’, as well as a mini-expo of key partners and projects.
