The project so far
Training and study visits in cities across Europe CIVITAS offers a peer-to-peer exchange programme for practitioners and city representatives who are interested in learning from and sharing with their peers from other European cities.
Tailor-made work placements are offered, as well as study visits, to see innovative transport solutions being developed and deployed first-hand.
Award for pioneering work in sustainable transport
The CIVITAS presents an award each year to members of the CIVITAS Forum Network whose transport policies or activities to achieve clean urban transport are outstanding.
Winners are awarded based entirely on the merit of their applications and the awards presented at the annual CIVITAS Forum conference.
Annual CIVITAS Forum
Held in a different country each year, the CIVITAS Forum brings together representatives from member cities to exchange ideas and influence the urban agenda.
The three-day conference offers collaborative workshops, state- of-the-art presentations and interesting site visits.
CIVINETS: join a group of like-minded cities in your country
CIVITAS national groups known as CIVINETs gather stakeholders, from the same country, who are working in the field of urban sustainable mobility.
Members exchange information in their own language working together to engage with the European Union and national governments, about transport policy issues, legislation, regulations, and funding.
CIVITAS Thematic Groups
Specialised Thematic Groups working across the ten areas described above, bring together experts from across the field of sustainable urban mobility.
Members will pool their expertise on analysing current transport-related policy, and have the opportunity to take part in study tours, webinars, training workshops, peer review exercises and annual meetings.
CIVITAS Europe-wide city network
Ambitious towns and cities can, by making a commitment to introducing an ambitious, sustainable urban transport policy, apply to become members of the CIVITAS Forum.
Members joining this trans-European network benefit from assistance with policy formation, learning and sharing of information, and provision of funding information.

integration, testing and validation in small-scale demonstrations or pilot activities aiming to show tech- nical feasibility of cleaner, better transport options for cities.
A CONNECTED APPROACH
CIVITAS emphasises the need for an integrated approach towards sus- tainable and energy efficient urban transport strategies in European cities. On this basis, CIVITAS 2020 seeks
to interconnect knowledge, expe- rience and people working in the sector, by offering practitioners and city representatives a range of opportunities (see box, left). By building a strong network of
cities, sharing knowledge and expe- riences, nurturing political commit- ment and testing new marketable solutions, CIVITAS2020 offers cities the opportunity to shape the debate on better, cleaner transport and make sure this remains a top prior- ity in Europe and beyond. CIVITAS2020 will also be partici-
pating in the Polis annual confer- ence on “Transport innovation for sustainable cities and regions”, tak- ing place on 1 and 2 December 2016 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
