Events are an important component of EIT Urban Mobility’s communications strategy and play a pivotal role and channel for disseminating the success and impact of EIT Urban Mobility. Relevant events range from internally organised events such as the annual EIT Urban Mobility flagship event, a key strategic, high visibility event involving stakeholders from within the internal community; our partners, as well as high profile external guests, to smaller, governance and business cycle generated meetings such as the General Assembly.
