IN 2026 the Transport Research Arena will take place in Budapest. This event will also be a unique opportunity to showcase European and global know-hows, innovations and developments. Budapest has an optimal location for such a great international event and can be reached easily from most of European Capitals via direct flights or railways. The academic scene and the research network in Europe are highly active, therefore by providing them the chance to be heard and form invaluable connections within the international transport sector, we expect a high number of registrations from young people in the sector. According to preliminary estimates and the outstanding location and features of the capital city, Budapest we expect more than 3000 participants. Many international experts, industrial, public, and other stakeholders will have the chance to debate the challenges in the transport sector worldwide and discuss the latest research results and future developments in mobility and transport.

TRA is co-organised by the European Commission and a number of European transport-related organisations covering all transport modes.

TRA is a combination of a policy/strategy event and a scientific conference, with a competitive “Call for Abstracts”. It provides a forum to strengthen the links between the wider European community and beyond.
TRA is a research and technology conference that brings together scientists, researchers and mobility professionals and acts as a bridge between science and transport and mobility in Europe and worldwide.
