To take part in the workshop online on 14 February 2022, please visit https://modus-project.eu/2022/01/19/registration-2nd-online-workshop-modus/

The main objective of the Modus project is to analyse the performance of the overall transport system by considering the entire door-to-door journey holistically and assessing the role of air transport with an integrated, intermodal approach. Modus identifies and assesses (future) drivers of passenger mobility demand and supply in terms of their impact on passenger mode choice. This enables the development of multiple scenarios for future mobility paths, taking account of aspects such as new regulatory frameworks to meet new environmental standards or new transport operator business models, covering a timeframe of 2040 onwards.

The workshop will take the form of a lively discussion featuring two round tables with industry stakeholders and interactive boards for participants. Registration is free but places are limited, so do book your place now.
