Forum Conferences

The CIVITAS Forum Conferences bring representatives from CIVITAS Forum Network member cities together, including their politicians and technical experts, once a year. The meetings include plenary and smaller technical and roundtable sessions. This ensures ample opportunity for contact and exchange between participating cities. Each CIVITAS Forum Conference takes place in a different city and includes site visits that offer opportunity for real transfer of expertise.

A short (approximately 90-minute) Politicians' Forum also takes place during the CIVITAS Forum Conference. It is an assembly of politicians representative of CIVITAS cities, which is typically hosted and chaired by the Mayor of the overall Forum host city. The meeting is an important occasion to listen and exchange views among CIVITAS city politicians on sustainable urban mobility policy issues. The event is also an ideal opportunity for CIVITAS Political Advisory Committee (PAC) to interact with politicians representative of the CIVITAS cities. The PAC can then further debate and bring all political representatives' views forward, for consideration and possible uptake by the CIVITAS Initiative.

In 2020, the CIVITAS Forum Conference and the European Conference on Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans were combined into European Urban Mobility Days.
