The workshop on ''Mobility and Innovation'', organized in Bilbao on 19th of November 2008 is part of the MOVE project, co-financed by Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE). Two of the FEDARENE members and the EVE (Ente Vasco de la Energia) and Energy Agency for Southeast Sweden are partner organisations of the project.

The purpose of MOVE project is to select tools, establish methods and standards within the partnership based on existing European initiatives that can be used to achieve changes in attitudes and behaviour leading to a change towards less energy intensive transport modes. Its main objective is to encourage more European communities to work with mobility issues and to offer alternatives to the use of fossil fuels leading to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, given the fact that today transport stands for one third of our energy consumption and more than 28% of CO2 emissions.

Some of the subjects of the workshop will be: a presentation of NICHES European Project, “urban transport innovation”, shared experiences on mobility in the MOVE project and evaluating mobility projects using as tool SUMO (System for Evaluation of Mobility Projects).
