The DISCO project and many of its partners joined the CIVITAS Forum in Parma on 1-3 October 2024. It is the flagship event of the CIVITAS Initiative and it provides the ideal opportunity to hear from the cities, people and projects that are driving innovation in smart, inclusive and sustainable mobility.
On 30 September, the workshop titled โ๐๐๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฒ: ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐๐๐ซ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ-๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐๐จ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ง๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซโ, took place as a side event of the CIVITAS Forum in Parma. It was proudly organised by the Green Last-mile Logistics City Platform of the URBANE project and the CIVITAS Initiative Cluster of Urban Logistics.
The cities of Bologna, Hamburg and Thessaloniki were on the spotlight and had the chance to present their measures being implemented within DECARBOMILE, DISCO, MOVE21 and URBANE projects. Three round tables were organised for each city after their presentations, and allowed participants to share their insights and experiences. Representatives of other EU-funded projects joined, such as SENATOR, UNCHAIN, CODEZERO. Our own partners Raffaele Vergnani (POLIS) facilitated the discussion on the round table focused on Bologna’s measure, and DISCO coordinator Paola Astegiano (FIT Consulting srl) and Giuseppe Luppino (ETP-ALICE) from facilitated as rapporteurs the Thessaloniki and Hamburg round tables respectively.
On 2 October, Eurocities’ Clarisse de Cerjat, Paola Cossu (FIT Consulting srl) and Laura Babio Somoza (POLIS) led the discussion on โLeveraging Data Integration for Seamless Mobility and Logistics‘.โ The session delved into the implication of data integration in the field of smart mobility, focusing on leveraging data to achieve seamless urban mobility and logistics. The city of Bologna, the city of Dublin, EMT Madrid, Agenzia TPL, the Centre for Research & Technology Hellas (CERTH) are proving it by example in their cities.
Paola Cossu, coordinator of the DISCO project, stated the following. โAs DISCO coordinator and International Data Spaces Association (IDSA) ambassador, I fully embrace the challenge of promoting the importance of data exchange by Data Space in Mobility driving to decarbonised and digital cities. No more silos between freight and passengers mobility. Stakeholders should be equally informed about value propositions to have evidence of benefits in sharing and dialoguing in a commoditised ecosystem. Logistics is at the core of economies and impacts everyday lives. Cohesion, alignment, common understanding, and collaboration are fundamental levers for achieving a real twin transition“.
DISCO and some of its partners were proud to be part of this edition and to showcase the project in the Urban Logistics Thematic Cluster!
