The future transport system: a public-private enterprise embracing infrastructure and vehicles across all modes  

Register now for the FEHRL Infrastructure Research Meeting 2017 (FIRM17), as there are only three weeks to go!

  2. A round table about "Automated connected vehicles, car-sharing and electrification: How to tackle the imminent disruption to mobility their combined deployment will bring?";
  3. The final conferences of the two Horizon 2020 projects USE-iT and REFINET, and
  4. A workshop about training and knowledge transfer for transport stakeholders supported by the SKILLFUL project.
