European University Institute 'State of the Union' 10th Anniversary

The forthcoming edition of The State of the Union will mark the 10th anniversary of the European University Institute’s flagship conference, which over the past decade has firmly established itself as a key forum for discussion and debate on the most pertinent issues facing Europe and Europeans. It will take place in hybrid format in Florence between Thursday 6 May and Saturday 8 May 2021. The event will bring together world leaders, diplomats, policy makers, academics, and civil society representatives to debate and reflect on the theme ‘Europe in a Changing World’ before a global audience.

On 6 May, CER Executive Director Alberto Mazzola will contribute to one of the conference's fringe events on 'The Role of Modal Shift in Achieving Transport Decarbonisation Objectives'.

The European Green Deal strives to transform Europe into the world’s first carbon neutral continent by 2050: a commitment, which will necessitate significant transformations across all sectors of the economy.

This panel discussion, hosted by FSR-Transport, brings together EU policy makers and industry experts for a timely debate on the technical and regulatory barriers, as well as the possible solutions and legislative opportunities to turn the EU’s modal shift objectives into reality.
