27. & 28. September | UNIVERSUM Bremen

ART-Forum goes out with a bang! The 14 partners from six countries of the Interreg North Sea Region share the insights and results from the last years and let you know, what really is important concerning automated mobility. The EU-project adresses risks and opportunities with regard to the impact automated road transport could have on the cities/regiosn and society. ART-Forum stands for Automated Road Transport Forum and built awareness and capacity among public stakeholders, planners and decision makers.
