Urban Freight for Livable Cities is based on the 2012 international VREF Symposium given in autumn 2012 on the same theme. The symposium was organised to consider the challenges and opportunities currently faced by stakeholders involved in urban freight transport, as well as desired outcomes and targets within both the public and private sectors. The papers presented in this book are updated contributions from the speakers at the conference.
The VREF invites PhD students and researchers in early stages of their career to apply for a Study Visit Grant to be supported with up to SEK 30 000.
NOW CLOSED - A new call is expected to open early 2020
