2010 International Transport Forum

26 -28 May in Leipzig

The International Transport Forum is a strategic think tank for the transport sector. Each year, it brings together Ministers from over 50 countries, along with leading decision-makers from the private sector, civil society and research, to address transport issues of strategic importance.

An intergovernmental organisation linked to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Forum's goal is to help shape the transport policy agenda and ensure that it contributes to economic growth, environmental protection, social inclusion and the preservation of human life and well-being.

The Forum was established in 2006 by Transport Ministers in an initiative to globalise the then European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT), which had been in place since 1953. The Forum is supported by its Research Centre, which provides data and analysis on key topics.

The International Transport Forum's annual event attracts experts and leaders from the global transport community providing a platform to debate and progress strategic transport issues. The involvement of Transport Ministers offers high-level links between policy-making and business at both national and international levels.

The Forum topics and discussions are based on many research and analytical inputs by renowned experts and industry stakeholders, all of which can be found on the 2010 Forum website.

All sessions are recorded and available ‘live' or as individual videos-on-demand via the 2010 Forum website.

The 2010 Forum Highlights, which brings together session discussions, conclusions and Forum activities, will also be made available on the 2010 Forum website.
