BSR Access Final Conference

The BSR Access partnership will come together for the final conference on the 16th of March from 10:00–12:00 CET.

For over three years the BSR Access project platform has facilitated innovative and sustainable transport by creating linkages between traditional infrastructure nodes and smart transport solutions to further develop the TEN-T Core Network Corridors in the Baltic Sea Region. By this the platform has supported policy makers on the European, national and regional level in fostering access to clean, efficient and multimodal transport corridors in the BSR.

The goal of the BSR Access platform was to create synergies between the involved projects by collecting, summarizing and spreading good practices and to promote multi-level and multi-stakeholder corridor governance. In the final conference the BSR Access partners will share the progress made, especially on the achieved interoperability that elaborates on the interaction between regional and transport development, complexity of mega-projects as stimulators of economic activity, deployment of clean fuels, streamlining of supply chain processes as well as transport development in first and last mile connections.

We are honored to be joined by the European Coordinator for the TEN-T North Sea-Baltic Corridor Mrs. Catherine Trautmann and high-level representatives of the partner organizations and key stakeholders in the final conference.

Join us to discuss the project platform achievements and what challenges and opportunities can be identified for a further integration and collaboration along the TEN-T Core Network Corridors in the Baltic Sea Region.
