EU Regional Priority Workshop

The SIMBA project held its European Priority Workshop on 21 June 2007 at the Hotel Hvide Hus, Aalborg. The event aimed to present the outcomes of the Regional Priority Workshops from each SIMBA country Brazil, China, India and South Africa and to discuss the country’s identified areas for cooperation with EU in ITS, automotive and infrastructure. More than 40 participants also discussed the desired outcomes of SIMBA which should be the formation of expert Working Groups and concrete recommendations for project ideas which the National Events will aim to establish.

The European Priority Workshop was accompanied by an Special session at European ITS Congress on 18 June 2007: 'Opportunities for International Cooperation with key Emerging Markets'. During this session key guest speakers from Brazil, China, India and South Africa presented their transport priorities, challenges, solutions required and cooperation opportunities with the EU.
