Project Events - 5th PROMIT Workshop on Intermodal Transport Across Borders
Venue: Bologna, Italy
Date: 20-21 November 2007
Intermodal transportation is essential to global trade and provides the arteries through which freight
moves across countries, oceans and continents.
However, in a complex international context, a number of challenges have to be successfully tackled such
as the potential lack of interconnectivity and interoperability at border crossings in order to ensure the
efficiency of the intermodal transport operations. Such challenges can be met by applying innovative information
and communication technologies as well as by enforcing facilitative legislative and policy measures.
The 5th PROMIT Workshop Intermodal Transport Across Borders is scheduled to take place on November 20th and 21st,
2007 in Bologna, Italy. This workshop is jointly organised by Cluster 3 Information and Communication Technologies
and Cluster 5 Security, Safety, Legislation and Policy. A technical visit at the Bologna Freight Village will
take place on the second day of the workshop.
