Efficient, sustainable, and equitable mobility remains a cornerstone of modern society — connecting people, enabling trade, and fostering socio-economic growth. Modern-day transportation systems, however, face unprecedented challenges: they must ensure effectiveness and accessibility for all, while responding to global challenges such as climate change, public health, safety, and rapid technological transformation.
To address these challenges, innovation is essential. New methods in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, the Internet of Things, and advanced business models offer opportunities to redesign mobility in ways that enhance efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. At the same time, transport research must integrate human and societal dimensions, ensuring that future mobility solutions are inclusive and equitable.

EWGT2026 will be hosted in Kraków, Poland — a city of rich history and innovation. We cordially invite you to join the international community of experts to exchange knowledge, foster collaboration, and shape the future of transportation systems.
