Shifting freight to rail: on track for a greener future

Online conference on rail freight transport

 

It is our pleasure to invite you to the online conference Shifting freight to rail: on track for a greener future, organised jointly by the Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the EU and the General Secretariat of the Council. It will take place on 12 May from 14:00 to 16:45 CET.

Despite considerable public and private investment both in infrastructure and rolling stock, we have observed a stagnated modal share for rail freight in the last two decades. So what is required to finally boost modal shift for rail freight? The conference Shifting freight to rail: on track for a greener future will aim to provide an answer to this question by bringing together several high-level speakers as well as policymakers, representatives of sector associations and companies. It will provide a forum for exploring different perspectives, addressing emerging challenges and identifying best practices in boosting modal share for rail freight transport.

You can find the complete programme on the Council website, as well as in attachment to this email.

The conference will be in English, but simultaneous interpretation of all spoken interventions will be provided from English to Portuguese, French and German.

To join the conference, register online by 10 May 2021.
