Most memorable
• Exchange of useful knowledge, learning form other’s experiences, and collaborative atmosphere.• The opportunity to enhance networking with other cities with similar challenges.• Big focus on dissemination, great concept of 3 circles of cites?• One inspirational moment was the presentation of City Connect: A programme of cycle improvements with a focus on health in West Yorkshire. Furthermore,
for me there were very helpful all the theoretical and practical 'lectures' presented by the staff of Rupprecht Consult giving a general view of the clusters discussed during the day.
• Working in very attractive formats, workshops, opportunity to meet people and networking• Since SRM is the Public Transport Authority of Bologna we are used to attend meeting focused on public transport service. TIDE gave me the possibility to
meet people working on other mobility area (cycling, green vehicles, etc...) and get some interesting information about what's happening in these fields.• The networking and meeting people with similar responsibilities and profiles working in very different environments but with a common aim on improving
urban mobility• Visits with other partners to different good practice spots• Good new connections and people to turn to in case any questions rise.• involvement as whole, to be part of this group and to be part of e-learning process• perfect organisation and partnership for period much longer that project duration!• The chance of direct work and exchange with the champions (and middle implementers) in electro-mobility. Also to understand the many faces and
complexity inherent to the process, and to have access to a certain methodology that could ease the path (Dialogue approach, for instance; I loved the presentation by Claus Seibt from Wuppertal Institute; or the one by Sebastien Albertus from Renault, both truly enlightening)
• The beautiful city of San Sebastian ;-) And of course all the friendly people of the project.• The opportunity to meet colleagues from other countries• Dinner ;) I'm joking! TIDE gave me the chance to liaise with very valuable and professional people and I have learn a lot from them. • the open minded cooperation• Cities cooperation • Introducing the results of TIDE at TIDE Budapest National Conference in June 2015• Outbound visit to Berlin. The one to one approach with room for specific questions was really good.• Making new connections and being inspired by others' fresh perspectives• seeing the wide range of applications of ITS strategies in European cities• Cycle paths network in San Sebastian and their Public Bikes.
