The 6456 ITS World Congress European Programme Committee has launched its interactive timetable on the Congress website, providing information, timing and locations on all sessions. It will be regularly updated as soon as more information is available.

Programme highlights include the Opening Ceremony, which will be followed by the ‘ITS in your pocket’ App Award Ceremony, the first and the exhibition ribbon cutting ceremony.

During the first day, the European project iMobility Challenge will run an eco-driving competition. A professional racing driver will set a score based on his eco-driving abilities that participants will attempt to beat during the rest of the congress.

Day two includes the plenary session "Enabling wider markets for mobility as a service", the second Ministerial Roundtable and special interest and technical scientific sessions.  Hear from ITS specialists dealing with extreme weather conditions on day three and join ITS colleagues for a special Finnish social evening.  The congress concludes on day four with the conclusions session and third plenary session.
