The EMILIA team attended this year's European Transport Conference (ETC) in Milan in early September and reported on the current status of project research in two different presentations. Natalie Schneider reported on the effects of the 9€ ticket in a pandemic context in her presentation "Does the Factor 'Cost' Solve All the Problems that a Post-Pandemic Local Public Transport Faces?", while Lea Fouckhardt's presentation "How Safe is Public Transport in a Global Pandemic?" dealt with the risk of infection in public transport vehicles.

The team also had the opportunity to learn about other recent findings from international science and practice and network with other participants at approximately 300 other presentations.

The European Transport Conference is organized every year by the Association for European Transport. This year's conference at the campus of the Politecnico di Milano University was attended by around 600 participants.
