EPF Conference 2021

After careful consideration, we decided in March to cancel the EPF conference 2021 in Strasbourg (originally planned for 2020). The pandemic situation showed still too many risks for a successful event. But even in Corona times, it is necessary for passengers, politicians and transport companies to exchange views at European level and to jointly seek new ways for passenger- and environmentally-friendly mobility. We therefore invite you to our online conference on a smaller scale for 2021 and hope to be able to hold another conference in Copenhagen in 2022 as usual.
