The International Transport Forum (ITF) at the OECD is an intergovernmental organisation with 62 member countries. ITF organises global dialogue for better transport, that is considered as a key sector when it comes to sustainable development. Acting as a think tank for transport policy, the ITF organises the Annual Summit of transport ministers.
In 2021, ITF organized the Pre-Summit Research Days on the 11th and 12th of May. The objective of this event was to gather researchers and top academics in the field of transport innovation for sustainable development for mobility during the Covid-19 pandemic.
It is important that research results are brought into practice to address issues that will benefit from discussions about micromobility and active transport, transport innovation for rural and remote areas, low-carbon vehicle technologies, transport innovation and Covid-19 recovery.
