Uzhhorod Urban Mobility Forum 2025

The third All-Ukrainian Urban Mobility Forum – Uzhhorod Urban Mobility Forum 2025, will take place from September 3 - 5 2025. This annual event has become a key platform for dialogue, bringing together leading experts representatives of central and local authorities, businesses, civil society organisations and all those dedicated to the development of urban mobility in Ukraine.

This year’s edition will focus on innovations in urban mobility and transport systems in the context of wartime challenges, energy risks and financial uncertainty. 

Participants will have the chance to discuss the current challenges Ukrainian cities face, legislative framework improvements, and the harmonisation of national regulations with EU standards. Special attention will be given to international cooperation and partnerships, particularly through CIVITAS and the CIVINET Ukraine network, which facilitates communication between Ukrainian cities and their European counterparts.

Key Topics on the agenda:

• Harmonization of Ukrainian Transport Legislation with European Standard: Aligning Ukraine’s transport and mobility policies with EU norms—challenges, opportunities, and legislative updates.
