Upcoming webinar
TMF New Year Debate – Modernising Transport Governance
FREE Webinar: Thursday, 9 January 2025
11.00 - 12.00 CET / 10.00 - 11.00 GMT
The new year webinar debate will once again in 2025 take the form of a moderated fireside chat. The session will be chaired and moderated by Derek Halden from the AET Transport and Mobility Forum.
Transport foresight research has noted that approaches to transport regulation must change. Broader governance approaches are needed to better target growing market failures as traditional boundaries between modes and sectors evolve. One of the greatest market failures remains access to information where government action has been lagging the changes taking place in transport markets. Perspectives on transport, technology and governance are increasingly shaped through social media, such as Elon Musk’s contribution as a technology leader to the political debate in the recent US presidential election. Transport in Europe is generally regarded as being well regulated but it must adapt rapidly to make the most of the changing socio-techological context to face the challenges ahead, not least climate change. In the AET new year debate we will be looking at what needs to change in 2025.
AET Transport and Mobility Forum webinars are free to attend and are hosted on the Zoom platform.

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.

Hopefully, the Webinar series will help AET take the leading role in transport debates internationally. |
