Host the next Annual CIVITAS Forum in 2013
The CIVITAS Secretariat hereby invites Expressions of Interest from European cities interested in hosting the CIVITAS Forum’s next annual conference in 2013.
The event typically takes place in the autumn of each year, with the 2013 conference serving as the 11th such annual meeting, following forums hosted in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Funchal, Malmö, Krakow, Bologna, Kaunas, Burgos, Nantes, Rotterdam and Graz, where the series started in 2003. As always, the occasion will serve as an opportunity for the exchange of dialogue and views between CIVITAS Forum city network representatives and European politicians on the one hand, and experts in the field of urban mobility on the other. Typically around 400 persons attend the event, which affords significant visibility to the host city to demonstrate and share success and achievement in the field of clean and sustainable urban transport. European cities interested in hosting the CIVITAS Forum Conference should express their interest by sending an email to the CIVITAS Secretariat at the following address: Secretariat [at] civitas [dot] eu. “EoI for 2013 Forum Conference” should be placed within the subject of the message. Cities can also express interest by contacting CIVITAS in the following ways: The CIVITAS Secretariat c/o The Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe (REC), Ady Endre út 9-11, 2000 Szentendre, Hungary Tel: +(36-26) 504-046 (ext. 313) Fax: +(36-26) 311-294 Upon receipt of your EoI, the Secretariat will send you guidance documentation that provides further information about what is involved in hosting the CIVITAS Forum Conference, the costs, benefits, and how to submit a formal application. The deadline for this will be 31st July, 2012. The CIVITAS Political Advisory Committee (PAC) will review and select the winning bid at the latest by the 26th September, 2012. The successful host city will also be invited to sign the CIVITAS Forum declaration (if they haven’t already), through which they more formally commit to implement clean and sustainable urban transport policies.
