The conference is organised by tthe Slovenian Ministry of Infrastructure and the Serbian Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure in cooperation with the UNECE.
Since 2012, EUSDR PA 1b assembles its valued stakeholders from the European Commission, academia, financing institutions, business representatives and interested general public to collect input across the diverse participants, advance standards of best practice and enable networking. The annual stakeholders conference aims at identifying guiding principles for selected topics in transport, ascertain the current performance in these areas, and determine how the implementation of EUSDR PA 1b towards its mission can be further improved. The conference outcomes also provide valuable input for the participants who are able to learn what are the most needed research and project activities for enhanced mobility and multimodality in the Danube Region.
The objective of Stakeholder Conferences is to achieve high level understanding and support for a common vision on infrastructure and mobility needs in coming years for road, rail and air transport. The conferences are important for awareness rising and understanding that joint efforts are needed for the international/cross-border projects with clear added value for the Danube Region. The conference therefore offered opportunities for networking and building synergies for future initiatives in the field.
