International Cycling Conference 2017

Bridging the gap between research and practice

Mannheim, Germany
Baroque Palace

The International Cycling Conference (ICC) is an interdisciplinary and international conference organised by the German Environment Agency (UBA). Together with our partners from PASTA (Physical Activity through Sustainable Transport Approaches) and THE PEP (Transport, Health and Environment Pan-European Programme) as well as the City of Mannheim, ECF, Difu and GIZ, the ICC is a three-day event organised to highlight the role of active mobility from an international perspective. The event will focus on synergies in transport planning, health care, environmental quality, economic and business development, as well as social issues and above all the exchange of knowledge and experience from research to practice and vice versa.

Bridging the Gap

The International Cycling Conference is an engaging, innovative and interactive event. International researchers and practitioners will be meeting to discuss the role of active mobility in the modern world, intersecting academic, political and practical thinking strategies. A cutting-edge format will bring together representatives from both research and practice and engage active mobility as a sector of action and research.
