We would like to invite you to participate in the European Conference on 'Transport safety: societal challenges, research solutions', that will take place in Genoa, Italy, on 4-5 December 2014.

This event is organised jointly by the European Commission and the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research, within the programme of activities of the Italian Presidency of the EU.

The Conference brings together the key players in the field of transport safety and experts in the corresponding research domains: stakeholders, policy makers and researchers joining forces for a safer transport system.
The objectives of the conference are:
