Transport Research Arena (TRA)

Transport Research Arena (TRA) will take place in Dublin from Monday 15th April through Thursday 18 April 2024. The programme is based around 900+ research papers and includes keynote and panel discussions from C-Level speakers across government, industry and academia. 

The focus for TRA2024 is: Transport Transitions: Advancing Sustainable and Inclusive Mobility.

      

TRA, which takes place every two years, is the largest European transport and mobility event and brings together policymakers, researchers, academia and industry representatives, to discuss how research, innovation and technology can work together to shape our current and future transport and mobility systems. 

It encompasses all modes - road, rail, air, water, and cross modality - in urban, inter-urban, and rural settings. We expect over 4000+ delegates to attend TRA2024 Dublin across a 160,000 m² campus in the Royal Dublin Society (RDS). 

The event in Dublin will be the 10th edition of TRA and the first time it will be held beyond mainland Europe. Minister Eamon Ryan is the TRA2024 President, Minister Jack Chambers the Vice President, and the Department of Transport is the official Host, supported by Transport Infrastructure Ireland and the European Commission.
