We are pleased to announce that the next edition (23rd) of the Euro Working Group on Transportation EWGT 2020 meeting will be held in Paphos, from September 16 to 18, 2020.
The Group was founded in July 1991 in Cetraro (Italy) during the 7th Euro Summer Institute on Urban Traffic Management. This name was changed during the EURO Conference in Glasgow in July 1994 to Transportation, in order to extend the topics addressed and to involve more people in participation.
Euro Working Group on Transportation (EWGT) main targets concern providing a forum to share research information and experience, encouraging joint research and the development of both theoretical methods and applications, promoting cooperation among the many institutions and organisations which are leaders at national level in the field of transportation, traffic and logistics.
