  • E-Mobility: land, water, air. Public transport
  • Active and X-treme mobility. Two- and three-wheelers, micro mobilities.
  • Shared and collaborative mobility as a service
  • New logistics, passenger and delivery services. City and intercity transportation.
  • Future automotive industry and vehicle technology. Advanced drivetrain technology. Electric vehicle global and national testing & compliance standards
  • Trends in batteries and energy storage, battery management systems, battery thermal management
  • EV charging. Development of charging infrastructure
  • Energy generation, grid, consuming and efficiency
  • Digital solutions, data and connected smart city mobility. Immersive technologies: virtual (VR) & augmented reality (AR) in the future of mobility, sustainable engineering, autonomous driving, flying drones (UAV) and automated robots.
  • Autonomous vehicles and drones
  • Broadband Internet connection trends. 5G prospects.
  • Hydrogen and alternative fuels

Alternative agenda

Smart and Sustainable City Infrastructure

  • City development: sustainable approach to planning of territories, building and function. Urban biodiversity and environment. Life quality and safety.
  • Buildings: engineering and architectural integration of renewable energy sources, e-mobility and digital solutions
  • Energy supply and consuming. Changes in user/grid interaction and management. Renewable energy in a new electricity market context. New technologies and approaches of management. Prosumption practice.
  • Transport: e-Mobility for public transport, services, businesses and individuals. Powering e-mobility. Logistics. Emergency services logistics. Traffic management. Smart Charging infrastruture
  • Waste management and land rehabilitation.
  • Digitalization and interactivity of infrastructure
  • Accessibility, removing obstacles and development of inclusive approach

Each topic is corresponding with respective sustainable development goals.

Key questions:

  • How cities are responding to global sustainable development goals (SDG)? Including goal 11: “Sustainable cities and communities”?
  • How the infrastructure helps better fulfill human rights and improve life quality?
  • What are the needs for improvement? What a positive experience of resolving is present?
  • How things should look like upon transition to more smart, sustainable, accessible and interactive infrastructure?
  • Which way societies are going and what practical steps will be done? How the infrastructure will help better fulfill human rights?
