“The role of Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning for developing a resilient transport system as to COVID19 impacts and climate change”

Civinet Greece-Cyprus is pleased to invite you to its national ELTIS training which will take place on Friday, October 8th 2021 in Athens at the OTE Academy premises.

The main goals of the training are to point out impacts and reactions of cities to the pandemic, how COVID19 has changed the way our cities and mobility system will develop and how climate change and energy efficiency take their imprint in our future development plans.

Why to attend

This is an excellent opportunity to develop strategies to meet future resilience needs that answer to pandemics, climate change and energy consumption challenges by our hands-on practical exercises. Learn how to meet SUMP principles in all of this in order to win main stakeholders and players for your case and increase chances for funding of your own activities.

This ELTIS training delivered by CIVINET Greece-Cyprus and the trainers Robert Pressl and Claus Köllinger is the perfect prelude for our December conference!
