Learn about the fundamental regulatory principles of the transport sector through hands-on activities based on real cases and examples with instructors from academia, national regulatory authorities and ministries, the European Commission and the industry.
During this residential summer school at the European University Institute’s premises in Florence, you will have an opportunity to deep dive into the most pressing transversal issues affecting the transport and mobility sectors, namely digitalisation, decarbonisation and sustainability, along with resilience. The programme will dedicate a full day to studying each of these topics.
After completing this Summer School on Transport Regulation, you will have a comprehensive understanding of the following burning issues affecting the transport and mobility sectors:
While the completion of the Single European Transport Area (SETA) continues to be work in progress, new global challenges – namely climate change and digitalisation – are exerting additional pressure on, but also offer new opportunities for the European transport sector.
Being Europe’s largest energy consumer, the transport sector accounts for roughly 30% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions and is the second-largest expenditure for EU households, only after housing. As such, transport has a central role to play in tackling some of Europe’s most pressing challenges, namely climate, energy and growth.
The European Green Deal and subsequent Fit for 55 Package call for deep transformations across the transport sector, which will have to collectively reduce its emissions by 90% by mid-century as compared to 1990 levels. The ongoing Ukraine war, on the other hand, has brought energy security concerns to the forefront, further underscoring the need to accelerate Europe’s transition away from fossil fuels. These come on top of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which have severely impeded the transport sector’s capabilities to make the necessary investments into green technologies, sustainable fuels and efficiency gains.
Digitalisation, on the other hand, is adding a new layer of complexity onto transport; yet, if carefully regulated, digitalisation has the potential to advance EU sustainability objectives, while increasing efficiency, enabling smoother and more customer-oriented operations and, not least, enhancing safety.
Against this backdrop, this first FSR Summer School on Transport Regulation will enable participants to learn about the fundamental regulatory principles of the transport sector through hands-on activities based on real cases and examples with instructors from academia, national regulatory authorities and ministries, the European Commission and the industry. Additionally, participants will deep dive into the most pressing transversal issues affecting the transport and mobility sectors, namely digitalisation, decarbonisation and sustainability, along with resilience. The programme will dedicate a full day to studying each of these topics.
