We are entering the final stretch! SYNCHROMODE and ACUMEN projects are drawing to a close. To finish on a high note and wrap-up, they are joining forces during a 2-day final event, taking the shape of a symposium on 21 and 22 April 2026, in Brussels.
Join us at COMET Louise to discuss about the future of multimodal, data-driven and resilient trafic and transport management in Europe. ACUMEN and SYNCHROMODE are two EU-funded Horizon EUROPE projects advancing multimodal transport management solutions across Europe. While SYNCHROMODE focuses on developing data-driven ICT tools for improving the management of transport operations and managing the overall transport network, ACUMEN facilitates the access to seamless mobility by using AI-aided decision tools.
To celebrate their achievements, the projects are joining forces for a final symposium. This two-day gathering will bring together policymakers, city leaders, transport authorities and operators, industry innovators, and sustainability experts to explore operational tools and real-world solutions that cities, transport authorities, and operators can use, all of which have been tested through pilots and demonstrations across Europe.
The event is structured around interactive sessions featuring research findings, governance design, impact assessment and testimonials from pilot cities. Whether you are exploring AI integration, seeking to improve multimodal coordination or looking to build resilience into your transport network, this event will provide actionable insights and proven tools developed through real-world implementation.
Sessions will address critical questions that cities face when advancing their traffic management systems: How do you effectively handle heterogeneous mobility data sources? How do you create data-driven and AI-based traffic prediction and optimisation systems? How do you coordinate all modes of transport within existing frameworks, handle disruptions and build resilience? What governance structures are needed to integrate new tools into current operations, and how do you evaluate their effectiveness?
Discussions will focus on the future of multimodal, data-driven, and resilient traffic and transport management in Europe.
The event will offer a deep dive into:
Whether you are part of a European city, a transport authority, or a mobility professional, this event offers an opportunity to exchange insights, foster connections, and contribute to shaping sustainable urban mobility!
