We are grateful for the excellent organization of the forum and the opportunity to present the UNCHAIN project alongside partners from ETRA, EIT Urban Mobility, POLIS Network, EMT Madrid, the City of Florence, and many others. The forum not only allowed us to present the achievements and goals of the UNCHAIN project, but it also allowed us to connect and collaborate with many other key players in the field of sustainable urban mobility. The opportunity to exchange ideas and best practices with this diverse group of participants made the forum an enriching experience for the entire UNCHAIN team.
