Host the next CIVITAS Forum Annual Conference (2011) - Still time to send your Expression of Interest!
Some days are left for European cities to send their Expressions of Interest to host the CIVITAS Forum’s next annual conference. The event typically takes place each year in October or November, with the 2011 conference serving as the 9th such annual event, following fora hosted in Malmö, Krakow, Bologna, Kaunas, Burgos, Nantes, Rotterdam and Graz, where the series started in 2003.
The CIVITAS Forum Conference is an annual event which serves as an opportunity for the exchange of dialogue and views between CIVITAS Forum city network representatives and European politicians on the one hand, and experts in the field of urban mobility on the other. Typically around 400 persons attend the event, which affords significant visibility to the host city to demonstrate and share success and achievement in the field of clean and sustainable urban transport. European cities interested in hosting the CIVITAS Forum Conference should express their interest by sending an email to the CIVITAS Secretariat at the following address: Secretariat [at] civitas [dot] eu. “EoI for 2011 Forum Conference” should be placed within the subject of the message. Cities can also express interest by contacting us in the following ways:The CIVITAS Secretariatc/o The Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe (REC), Ady Endre út 9-11, 2000 Szentendre, Hungary Tel: +(36-26) 504-046 Fax: +(36-26) 311-294Your EoI should reach us no later than 2nd July, 2010! Upon receipt of your EoI, the Secretariat will send you guidance documentation that provides further information about what is involved in hosting the CIVITAS Forum Conference, the costs, benefits, and how to submit a formal application. The deadline for this will be 31st August, 2010. The CIVITAS Political Advisory Committee (PAC) will review and select the winning bid on 27th September, 2010. The successful host city will then be invited to sign the CIVITAS Forum declaration (if they haven’t already), through which they more formally commit to implement clean and sustainable urban transport policies.
