The DISCO project will be presented at the Transport and Logistic Trade Fair in Munich, the most important industry platform for logistics and transport.

transport logistic keeps its promises: the leading exhibition for logistics, telematics and transport brings together industry experts and investment decision makers from all over the world. It is a comprehensive platform where the most important issues affecting the industry today are discussed and where new innovation potential is brought to light.

 

 

DISCO | Urban Logistic Innovation Day - June 4, 2024

DISCO will be part of the Urban Logistics Innovation Day that will be held on the 4th of June in Brussels.

Innovation is key to decarbonizing urban freight transport and improving the sustainability of urban logistics. This event brings together innovation practitioners from the urban logistics sector and forward-thinking cities to promote the use of innovative technologies, such as the Physical Internet, to achieve sustainability goals. It will discuss trends, challenges, and cooperation opportunities, and facilitate dialogue between public and private sectors to create a policy framework for zero-emission urban freight.

DISCO | Urban Mobility Days - September 30th to October 2nd, 2025

The DISCO project will be presented at the Urban Mobility Days, in Vilnius, Lithuania. This event organized by the European Commission will provide the perfect opportunity for networking, debating, and exchanging views on European urban mobility policy issues.

 

DISCO | Webinar on Data Spaces - November 5, 2024

Registration is open for the Webinar: From theory to practice - Demonstration and planned development of the DISCO Urban Freight Data Space
November 5, 2024 at 10:00 – 11:00 CET 

This webinar aims to address Data Spaces, first through a short introduction on what data spaces are, including their role in enabling secure, sovereign, and interoperable data sharing among organizations, sectors, or regions, their benefits, principles and architecture. Then guide participants from theory to practice showcasing the capabilities of the DISCO Urban Freight Data Space DEMO version and following with the next steps. In this way, we aim to dive a bit deeper into the topic and complement the first two webinars on Data Spaces conducted within the DISCO project.

DISCO | Webinar on Find Space for Mobility and Logistics Data, October 29, 2024

Registration Open for the Joint Webinar on Find Space for Mobility and Logistics Data
October 29, 2024 at 13:00 – 14:30 CET 

The rules for common European data spaces will cover areas like health, mobility, environment, energy and agriculture, to make better use of publicly held data for research for the common good, support voluntary data sharing by individuals, and. set up structures to enable key organisations to share data. However, application of data space in urban mobility, particularly how to apply data space in the urban logistics sector, is still in flux. Currently, there is a project (deployEMDS) working on European Mobility Data Space, and DISCO aims to application of data space in urban logistics. In the framework of DISCO project, an award dedicated to data space integration will be announced in October, and this webinar will invite the winner to share their practice.

This webinar will invite experts in data space and pioneers of using data space in the urban mobility sector, and engage with current R&I project practitioners to exchange views, and inform each other technical development and implementation.

DISCO | Webinar on KPIs - November 19, 2024

Registration is open for the Webinar: Key Performance Indicators Framework – the experience of DISCO project

November 19, 2024 at 10:00 – 11:00 CET 

This webinar aims to provide an understanding of what Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are, why they are important, and how they are used to measure urban logistic solutions and initiatives. Choosing the most relevant and actionable KPIs is essential to ensure their alignment with strategic city goals, and their practicability and effectiveness to facilitate monitoring and evaluation. This webinar will showcase the insights, challenges and solutions identified within the DISCO project and DISCO Living Labs to effectively address KPIs as a crucial step in monitoring DISCO implementation. The KPI dashboard developed within the project will also be shown.

EURIDICE. European Inter-Disciplinary Research on Intelligent Cargo for Efficient, Safe and Environment-friendly Logistics

The project received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration" and aimed to create the necessary concepts, technological solutions and business models to establish the most advanced information services for freight transportation in Europe. The project was built on the Intelligent Cargo concept, defined by the following vision statement:
“In three years time, most of the goods flowing through European freight corridors will be ‘intelligent’, i.e.: self-aware, context-aware and connected through a global telecommunication network to support a wide range of information services for logistic operators, industrial users and public authorities.”

ICARUS Main Achievements in 2020

The purpose of the ICARUS project is to increase and improve sustainable travel options in coastal transport services and provide alternatives to independent car use.

These solutions include harmonization of timetables, availability of car/bike sharing within transport nodes, innovative ICT solutions for seamless flow of information, integrated intelligent multimodal payment systems, dynamic travel planning, and cross-border intermodal services. The innovative solutions will trigger a behavioral shift away from personally owned vehicles in favor of public and shared services.

Over the course of 2020, the project group analyzed the current state of the art in terms of innovative solutions, mobility gaps and needs, as well as by capitalizing on EU and international practices. This provided useful data to calibrate pilot activities.
