Time: 13:00 to 17:00, followed by informal networking until 17:30

Location: Budapest, Hungary, during TRA 2026

REGISTER NOW

Join the final event of the ReMuNet and SARIL projects at TRA 2026 in Budapest.

This joint event will bring together representatives from research, industry and policy to explore how Europe can strengthen the resilience, adaptability and sustainability of multimodal freight transport networks. The event will present the main results, tools and recommendations developed by both projects, with a particular focus on how digital solutions, collaboration and innovation can support freight transport in the face of disruptions.

The session will also provide an opportunity to discuss how project outcomes can support future research, operational uptake and policy development at European level.

Why attend

Participants will have the opportunity to:

• learn about the final results of the ReMuNet and SARIL projects
• discover tools and approaches for improving resilience in multimodal freight transport
• explore how digital innovation can support disruption management and adaptive planning
• hear perspectives from research, industry and policy
• join the discussion on future implementation pathways and collaboration opportunities

About the projects

ReMuNet: Resilient Multimodal Freight Transport Network focuses on improving the resilience of multimodal transport corridors by identifying disruptive events, assessing their impacts and supporting faster, more adaptive responses. The project combines standardised network descriptions, advanced routing algorithms, collaborative digital tools and AI-based modelling to support synchromodal relay transport across rail, road and inland waterways.

SARIL: Sustainability And Resilience for Infrastructure and Logistics networks addresses the resilience of freight transport and logistics networks while integrating environmental performance. The project develops indicators, models and tools to assess both resistance to disruptions and the environmental burden of freight transport across regional, national and international scenarios.

Together, the two projects offer complementary perspectives on resilient and sustainable multimodal logistics, with strong relevance for European transport policy and operational practice.
