We warmly welcome you to join us in Helsinki on 10-11 November for our Nordic seminar, where we ask ourselves how cities can transform mobility and urban operations to support sustainable urban development? We will explore this question through different cases, which offer perspectives on how mobility, accessibility, technology and urban development can be integrated to create more sustainable, efficient and attractive cities.
The registration fee is 150 €, which covers catering during meetings, lunch (both days) and the excursion to Porvoo. In addition, it covers sauna and sauna drinks for those who want to warm up after a chilly day in Porvoo.
Optional costs include
- Accommodation at Finlandia Park Hotel (81 € per night, including breakfast)
- Dinner on Tuesday (65 €)
Registration is open until 12 October.
For registration and payment, please follow this link.
On the registration page you will first be asked to select a “ticket” for participation and the
dinner (optional). After pressing “register” you will be asked to fill in your contact information,
dietary restrictions and your preferred accommodation. From here proceed to the summary
and payment page.
