On September 19 and 20, 2013, ECONSULT co-organised the international BESTFACT workshop on "Best Practices in Co-modality and Green Logistics". About 100 experts from 25 countries followed the invitation to the ballroom of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology in order to discuss best practice examples from all over Europe.
After a general introduction into the contents and objectives of the EU project BESTFACT co-modal solutions and innovations were presented during the first day of the event. "Greening Logistics" were focussed on the second day considering the question how ecologic and economic interests in logistics and transport can be compatible. The general discussion with the speakers, the breaks as well as the evening programme were used for the intensive exchange of ideas and networking.
BESTFACT unites 18 project partners from 13 different European countries. It is the objective of BESTFACT to develop, disseminate and enhance the utilisation of best practices and innovations in freight transport. The project receives funding from the EC's 7th Framework Programme.
