About the event
In 2020, in response to the COVID pandemic that hit EU economies, the European Commission and EU Member States mobilised massive resources, on a scale never before seen in EU history. This Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) is now making the transition towards a greener, more digital economy more achievable through the funding of projects in Member States' National Recovery Plans. The European mobility sector finds itself playing a central role both in making itself more sustainable and enabling other sectors of the EU economy to count on more sustainable logistics.
Taking place a few days before the publication of the new legislative proposal for the revision of the Regulation on Europe's transport network (TEN-T), this event provides the perfect opportunity to take stock of RRF spending so far, the priorities of national recovery programmes, and the best possible allocation of future funding.
Organised by CER with Slovenian Railways (SZ), in cooperation with the Slovenian Presidency of the Council of the EU.
