The main project of the Sustainable Transport Chair is to analyze the outlook for the evolution of transport in Spain in the long term (2030), reach a consensus on a future desirable scenario for this period and identify the more adequate measures to achieve it.

The aim is to set a conceptual framework to stimulate the debate on the future from a viewpoint that contributes to the identification of innovative policies and make possible the emergence and consolidation of new options which are still not identified yet. For this, a change of view: starting from a reflection on what we would like the future to look like, and after to reflect on technological, regulatory and institutional developments that can make the future possible.
