The CIVITAS Forum 2026 will take place 15–17 September 2026 in Thessaloniki, bringing together cities, researchers, industry leaders, and EU-funded projects working to shape the future of sustainable urban transport. Organised under the CIVITAS Initiative, the forum is one of Europe’s leading events focused on cleaner, more efficient and more inclusive urban mobility systems. The 2026 edition will explore the theme “Roots & Routes: Moving Forward to Competitive, Connected and Resilient Urban Mobility.” Over three days, participants will engage in a wide range of activities including policy discussions, technical sessions, project showcases, and networking opportunities. Key topics expected to feature across the programme include:

• Decarbonisation of urban transport systems
• Integration of digital and smart mobility solutions
• Mobility-as-a-Service and connected transport networks
• Urban logistics and last-mile delivery
• Inclusive and accessible mobility systems for citizens

The forum provides a valuable platform for EU-funded mobility initiatives to share results, demonstrate pilot solutions, and exchange best practices with cities and stakeholders across Europe. It also offers opportunities for collaboration between public authorities, research institutions, and industry actors working to accelerate the transition toward sustainable mobility.

Events such as the CIVITAS Forum play an important role in strengthening the European mobility innovation ecosystem, helping projects and cities connect solutions with real-world implementation. For initiatives like MobiNexus, which aim to support collaboration and innovation within mobility ecosystems, forums of this kind offer valuable insights into emerging technologies, policy developments, and scalable solutions shaping the future of transport across Europe.
