ETC 2021 Call for Contributions
Deadline for Abstracts: 08 February 2021
The Association for European Transport announces the start of the preparations for the 2021 European Transport Conference (ETC). The format will be different: the plan is for an online conference with two sessions each day and spread over a longer period. The international situation will be monitored closely to gauge whether it may also be possible to hold some aspects of the conference in person.
