The International Transport Forum (ITF), together with the European Commission (EC), the European Conference of Transport Research Institutes (ECTRI), the US Transportation Research Board (TRB) and the World Conference on Transport Research Society (WCTRS), are pleased to announce the holding of a Pre-Summit Research Day on Transport for Inclusive Societies.
Objectives
The objective of the Pre-Summit Research Day is to bring together top academics researchers and practitioners to present and discuss topics relevant to the Summit’s theme. It is important that research results are brought into practice, especially considering the pace with which our transport system is currently evolving.
The Research Day offers a great opportunity to exchange ideas not only between researchers, but also with representatives from governments, cities, and other decision-makers.
Focus
The 2022 ITF Summit on “Transport for Inclusive Societies” will discuss the role of transport policies for fostering an environmentally friendly, people-centric world that leaves no one behind, notably as regards vulnerable and disadvantaged groups of persons. It will highlight linkages between transport and inclusion in all of its dimensions.
The Pre-Summit Research Day will limit its scope to four specific topics as listed below. In order to plan their actions for the coming years, policymakers need the insights from researchers to provide knowledge and solutions on:
- Promoting inclusive, sustainable and active mobility in African cities;
- Planning for inclusive transport decarbonisation in European cities;
- An invitation to the table: listening for all for better transport policies;
- Transport digital innovations for more sustainable and accessible transport systems.
New call for papers for Journal publication (updated on July 2022)
The European Conference of Transport Research Institutes (ECTRI), the US Transportation Research Board (TRB), in association with the International Transport Forum (ITF), are pleased to invite authors to submit papers addressing the subject of “Transport for Inclusive Societies.” Papers may be submitted to either ECTRI’s European Transport Research Review or TRB’s Transportation Research Record for consideration for publication. Applicants can include, but are not limited to, authors accepted for speaking roles at the 2022 Pre-Summit Research Day.
