Communication activities
ERTICO coordinates and supports close to 30 European projects with our Partners and external stakeholders. Funded by the European Commission and national authorities, we aim to make mobility smarter, safer and cleaner. Our work also aligns seamlessly with EU objectives, including policy frameworks such as the European Green Deal, Vision Zero, and the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy. Innovation Platforms, Mobility Data Spaces and other multi-stakeholder activities are funded solely by industry and/or public authorities and comprise members and non-members of the ERTICO Partnership. Our commitment to innovation and deployment extends to horizontal initiatives such as the City Moonshot, ERTICO Academy, and other cross-sector activities that synchronise Europe with other ITS organisations in the US, Canada, and Asia-Pacific.
Through our CCAM (Connected, Cooperative & Automated Mobility) initiatives, we actively contribute to the evolution of transportation, envisioning a safer future where vehicles communicate intelligently, cooperate seamlessly, and navigate autonomously. This commitment underscores our dedication to developing cutting-edge technologies and a transformative approach to address current challenges.
Another important component of our mission in Clean & Eco-Mobility. This focuses on reducing emissions and mitigating pollutants originating from various transportation sources, including brakes, tyres, and exhaust. Our activities contribute to improving air quality for a healthier society and promote the uptake of zero-emission vehicles, renewable and low-carbon fuels, and related infrastructures.
In Urban Mobility, our strategic priorities emphasise multimodal, integrated, and inclusive transportation options for all. This vision relies on a robust infrastructure supported by operational CCAM services, playing a central role in the decarbonisation of transportation and making connected and automated multimodal mobility a reality.
Transport & Logistics concentrate on supporting the greening of freight transport and logistics, including interoperability and connectivity to optimise the movement and shipment of goods. By leveraging a broad range of expertise and resources, we aim to enhance supply chain management, contributing to overall efficiency gains in the logistics sector.Other activities

Meetings
Meetings
7 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
