We would like to invite you to the online conference on Cross-Border Rail Connections, that will take place on the 10 and 11 June 2021.
Dedicated to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on cross-border rail transport. Both short-term and long-term consequences of the pandemic will be discussed, from the border shutdowns in spring 2020 to financial challenges that CB railway services face. The round tables will focus on functional urban areas characterised by large commuter flows and on smaller lines connecting less densely populated areas. The aim is to discuss their current needs and business models as well as the way they contribute to connecting communities across the EU borders.
The second day will host two round-tables dedicated to missing links across Europe. What is their current state of play? And how could these railway links contribute to boosting the economic development of border regions while fostering the transition towards a cleaner cross-border mobility? These two round-tables host policy makers and stakeholders who will point out way towards a more connected Europe.
