Participation in the workshop “The Future of Rail Transport for European Regions: Challenges and perspectives beyond 2020”

On December 18, the Italian cluster E.R.I.C (Emilia-Romagna Intermodal Cluster), integrated by members of our associate Unione Interporti Reuniti, organized a conference entitled “The Future of Rail Transport for European Regions: Challenges and perspectives beyond 2020” in Brussels. The workshop aimed to foster a discussion of policies and instruments to strengthen the rail freight transport in the context of the new programming period 2021-2027 and to present the intermodal cluster of Emilia Romagna Region.

Isabel Velasco, president of Europlatforms, was invited to participate with various representatives of DG Move and other European associations, in a round table entitled: “Challenges and opportunities for the rail freight transport of the future”. Mrs Velasco focused the speech on the intermodal transport and how the cluster ERIC could be benefit by initiatives like Europlatforms.
