Upcoming webinar
Transport politics: Engaging with political stakeholders
FREE Webinar: Thursday, 3 October 2024
11.00 - 12.00 CEST / 10.00 - 11.00 BST
How do transport planners and researchers influence decision makers? In this webinar, we examine the importance of political engagement in shaping the debate around transport and influencing outcomes to move plans forward.
Lewis North, Head of Public Affairs for Rail Partners (UK), will discuss how to engage with politicians and other key stakeholders. Drawing upon examples from the railway in Great Britain, he will examine the importance of media interventions and political engagement. This session will explore tactics to achieve results and influence government policy, while also exploring how to respond to challenges to policy positions and ways of managing setbacks.
Following the presentation will be a short response from John Martin, Head of Climate Engagement, Ireland Department of Transport. The webinar will be chaired by AET Board member Conall Mac Aongusa.
AET Transport and Mobility Forum webinars are free and are hosted on the Zoom platform.

Derek HaldenDHC Loop Connections United Kingdom

Derek Halden (UK) specialises in planning accessibility and connections to enable joint planning of the factors that drive travel demand together with transport supply. The global pandemic has changed people, places and transport making accessibility planning even more important than prior to the pandemic. I am working with AET to help develop the debate about these new challenges and responses, taking transport planning beyond traditional boundaries to further develop accessibility and connectivity planning. |  |

James Odeck (NO) is a professor of transport economics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (Trondheim) and a senior research economist at the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA). He specializes in applied transport economics and efficiency & productivity measurements. His research in transportation covers impact assessment and benefits cost analyses, monetary valuation of impacts, ex-post studies and cost overruns, and elasticity of transport demand. Odeck has published widely in re-known transportation journals such as Transportation Research Part A, Transportation, Transport policy, and Transport Reviews. The transportation sector is one of the public sectors with ongoing new developments, e.g., digitalization, automation, and a shift from fossil fuel to renewable energy. I am happy to work with AET to develop a platform for debating these new developments and other emerging transportation issues. Hopefully, the Webinar series will help AET take the leading role in transport debates internationally. |
