Additionally, the IET will sponsor the Best Research Paper Award, recognizing outstanding innovation and academic excellence at this year's Istanbul Congress.

Focus on: Co-Created Sessions

For the first time in Istanbul, we’re proud to present Co-Created Sessions. This innovative new format will bring together public authorities, industry leaders, research organisations, and international associations to collaborate, share insights, and explore solutions that drive partnerships, projects, and policy in transport and mobility.

This week we’re highlighting four of the eight sessions, with more to be featured in the coming weeks as the programme continues to take shape.

Co-created with Eurocities

Explore how coordinated policies, roles, and incentives across governance levels can unlock ITS potential. This session addresses policy alignment, breaking silos, enabling data sharing, and designing user-centred solutions for clean, efficient, accessible urban mobility outcomes.

Co-created with 6GIA

Explore how next-generation networks, AI, and edge computing connect road, rail, air, and water transport, focusing on interoperability, service continuity, and cross-modal collaboration to accelerate sustainable, resilient, and integrated multimodal mobility across Europe.

Co-created with POLIS

As automated mobility enters real-world deployment, this session explores governance frameworks ensuring safety, accessibility, sustainability, and public trust, while examining citizen perceptions, potential risks, and how Europe can shape automation to benefit cities and social cohesion.

Co-created with The ITS National Network

Learn how national innovation ecosystems drive smarter, resilient transport. This session showcases projects from ITS Austria, Norway, Greece, Germany and Finland, highlighting multimodal integration, cooperative ITS, accessibility, and cross-border collaboration for a connected, innovation-driven European mobility ecosystem.
