ECOMM 2020 call for presentations open until 10 January
The European Conference on Mobility Management (ECOMM) is now inviting submissions of presentation abstracts for its 2020 edition.
The main theme of ECOMM 2020, which is taking place in Cascais (Portugal) from 3-5 June, is “New Mobility…New Realities for People and Cities… OUTRA VEZ!”.
New technical possibilities, demographic trends and changing consumer behaviour are putting traditional notions of mobility to the test, with consumers demanding new, integrated mobility offers. At the same time, people’s traditional mobility patterns are being questioned.
In order to overcome some of the most prominent challenges and to be able to move quickly towards smart and sustainable societies, the ECOMM 2020 conference wants to actively encourage the debate on new mobility solutions at European level.

Presentations at ECOMM 2020 should refer to one of the following topics, which all relate to the conference's main theme.
- Topic 1 - MaaS, Mobility as a Service: A New Transport Model
