ONLINE WEBINAREurasian corridors for Combined Transport23.06.2021 from 10:00 - 13:00PLANET - Progress towards Federated Logistics Through The Integration Of TEN-T into A Global Trade NetworkONLINE WEBINARon the Eurasian corridors for Combined TransportThe development of Eurasian rail freight corridors opens extremely promising perspectives to the growth of rail transportation over long distance, as an alternative to other modes - maritime or road transport - or as an effective partner in the global logistic chain. These corridors are increasingly becoming a reality. Every month, new initiatives and logistic services linking Asia to Europe and vice versa are publicly announced to the public.Within the PLANET project, the Living Lab 2 specifically focuses on (1) expanding the emergent potential trade routes for railway transport, (2) on the assessment of the current geo-politics, legal, operational and technical hurdles and barriers on the selected routes and (3) on the evaluation and prioritisation of the best innovative solutions (such as Physical Internet, blockchain, smart contracts…).Under the moderation of UIRR – the Industry Association of Combined Transport in Europe (www.uirr.com) – we are pleased to invite you to the first session of the "Transcontinental Platform in Combined Transport" to present and discuss the first project results:
