Dr. Ciaran McNally:

There will certainly be recommendations. We have a number of high-level plenary and strategic sessions and so on and they are targeted at very specific research themes or policy themes. Ultimately, much of this is also driven by European policy.

A lot of that would be incremental development so it is a case of building on the research that has been happening in recent years, bringing everyone together to take stock, and then identifying gaps or research needs with which to go forward. Networking is certainly a huge part of this conference, as is an integrated assessment of our transport practices. Again, it is one of the opportunities for the different transport modes to learn from each other. Through those discussions, the findings of these will be recorded and fed back to the different technology platforms. These will form the basis for upcoming actions.
