In 2024, TRA takes place in Dublin, Ireland from the 15th – 18th of April. Transport Research Arena (TRA) is the foremost European transport event that covers all transport modes and all aspects of mobility. 

TRA offers a great venue for researchers, policy makers and industry representatives to get together and contribute to the discussion on how research and innovation can reshape the transport and mobility system. The conference provides a unique opportunity to hear about mobility trends in different parts of Europe, learn from achievements in industry as well as share best practices of policies and deployments.
