Elodie Petrozziello | S2E4 | Modernising European transport networks

In this episode of the FSR Policy Briefcase (Season 2, Episode 4), hosts Leonardo Meeus and James Kneebone sit down with FSR Research Associate Elodie Petrozziello to explore how European transport networks are evolving and why urban nodes are key to their successful modernisation.

Drawing from Elodie’s recent Policy Brief, the discussion covers the updated TEN-T regulation, fresh approaches to transport governance, and insights from the ‘Florence Intermodal Forum’. The episode also highlights real-world examples of urban nodes – some leading the way, others falling short. Recorded in April 2025. Read the policy brief: https://cadmus.eui.eu/handle/1814/77172
