The European Transport Conference (ETC) connects the worlds of research, consultancy, policy and practice.  Attendance at ETC allows different groups to pose questions to fellow professionals and to assess what is possible in terms of delivery. Researchers are challenged by policy-makers; practitioners need to deliver on the ground what the policy-makers want.

The Call for Papers is available at:
