ITRL regularly hosts breakfast seminars on themes relevant to our research. We bring together exciting speakers from academia, companies and governmental organisations to present new ideas, research results, and cutting-edge know-how on the disruptive shifts that the transportation sector is undergoing. Themes for the seminars are centered around ITRL's research areas and focus on the future of sustainable transportation and its implications for policy and technical development.

These seminars are open to the public, so make sure to have a look in our calendar  and sign up for our newsletter  to be the first to know!
