POLIS-Scandria Alliance-BSR Workshop: Urban Nodes at the core of TEN-T, 1 Oct 2026
Two years into the revised TEN-T Regulation, this in-person workshop aims to take stock of where urban nodes stand in meeting their new obligations and what still needs to happen. We will examine how cities are being integrated into TEN-T corridor governance, where multi-level cooperation is working, and where gaps in policy, capacity, and funding remain.
The goal is a frank dialogue between urban nodes, national authorities, and EU policymakers to identify what support cities need, and how EU funding under the next MFF can better align with TEN-T requirements.
The workshop is organised by POLIS, the Scandria Alliance and the BSR Urban Mobility project platform.
