The Ter4Rail London Summit will take place on 28 June 2019 at Newcastle University London. The event will focus on topics related to the future of European railway infrastructure.

The Summit will be based on the ‘World café-method’ and discuss questions regarding personalised, seamless and connected mobility system for freight and public transport, and the evolution of the transport mode for the upcoming 30 years.

Richard Harris, Director of Real ITS Global will also be present and give a brief introduction of key challenges in our mobility system, such as air quality problems, new mobility ecosystems and data as the driver of services and policy aspects.

As the Ter4Rail project is getting closer to the first draft of results, you will have an opportunity to learn more about some of the key findings and share your opinion.

The full agenda is available online. To register, please follow the link below. The number of places available at the Ter4Rail London Summit are limited.
