Project event

The JULIA project will conclude next November. To share relevant advancements on how space technologies can help optimise public transport management and resilience, the project consortium is organising an interactive Final Event. Taking palce on 3 November as a side event at Tomorrow.Mobility in Barcelona, the event will offer a deep dive into how space data from Galileo and Copernicus can enhance public transport, optimise urban mobility services and empower cities to make more informed and sustainable decisions.

The programme will offer a firsthand look at the main takeaways from the three pilot sites and the JULIA Global Observatory, expert panels, hands-on demonstrations, liaison with other EU initiatives and more.

EUSPA, the EU Agency for the Space Programme (JULIA´s funding body), organisations like UITP and other sister projects are some of the special guests of the day. The event will not only be an occasion to reflect on some of the most relevant project findings, but also an open dialogue on how to bridge space data and real-world transport solutions.
