Agenda

Policies & Practices is organised as a series of debates on three general issues that will be analysed in three sessions each. As these specific sessions will be hosted annually, it will be possible to consider these topics in light of a medium-term vision, to study new trends from one session to the next and to guarantee a regular follow-up.

The next Policies & Practices session will be Tackling EU road transport emissions: Electrification as a path to climate neutrality taking place on 5 July 2024.

The Policies & Practices agenda can be checked by topic or by date.
