Save the date for the leading European urban mobility event

Save the date for the CIVITAS Forum Conference 2021, which will take place on 20-21 October 2021 in a hybrid (online and in person) format, hosted by Aachen (Germany). This is the 18th edition of the CIVITAS Forum, which gathers the keenest mobility minds from across Europe and beyond to discuss the most pressing topics in the field of sustainable urban mobility.

Since 2003, the CIVITAS Forum Conferences have brought sustainable urban mobility representatives and leading cities – including their politicians and technical experts – together once a year. The meetings include larger plenary and smaller technical and roundtable sessions, as well as site visits that offer the opportunity for real transfer of expertise.

A short politicians' forum also takes place during the conference. ICLEI Members have historically been well represented among the participants and contributors to the meeting, which serves as an important occasion to exchange views on sustainable urban mobility policy issues.

This year's CIVITAS Forum will combine online and onsite activities, which continue the tradition of offering interactive workshops, sessions, and site visits, whilst introducing new programme elements.

Attendees can expect to hear about innovative sustainable mobility solutions from forward-thinking cities, people and projects – including a number of ICLEI Members and experts – as well as to exchange and connect with city representatives, policymakers, practitioners, planners, NGOs, and academics.

The Forum will be free to attend and perfect for people passionate about mobility, innovation and sustainability. Follow all Forum developments on social media with the hashtag #CIVITAS2021.
