”TRA 2020, the Transport Research Arena, is the largest European research and technology conference on transport and mobility. In 2020, TRA takes place in Helsinki, Finland. Themed Rethinking transport – towards clean and inclusive mobility, TRA2020 brings together experts from around the world to discuss the newest innovations and future of mobility and transport. The next edition of this biennal event will be held in Helsinki on the 27–30 of April in 2020.

TRA offers a great venue for researchers, policy makers and industry representatives to get together and contribute to the discussion on how research and innovation can reshape the transport and mobility system. The conference provides a unique opportunity to hear about mobility trends in different parts of Europe, learn from achievements in industry as well as share best practices of policies and deployments.

TRA2020 offers an excellent opportunity to rethink, together, how to navigate amidst technological disruptions, making the best use of them, and respond to the increasingly diverse and challenging demands. Some of the prime questions specifically addressed are the following:

• We all want to mitigate the climate change. The transport sector has a paramount role to play in ensuring the most effective responses both in the short and long term.
• Users of mobility systems need to be put at the core. We also need to offer more flexible, inclusive and innovative mobility solutions.
• We want to see physical infrastructure from a new angle – as an asset topped up with usable data and providing a platform for new services and applications. We also must redefine lifecycle management as more sustainable asset management.
• Last but not least, as transport research contributes to the policy making at national and European levels, we need to grasp the moment to carry forward the achievements from research and innovation to informed and sustainable decisions, and investments in better services and products”.
