The BSR Urban Mobility project platform supports cities and regions across the Baltic Sea Region in tackling shared urban mobility challenges by strengthening skills, knowledge and cooperation.
Through 12 training and peer learning events both online and in person, the platform brings together mobility planners, public authorities and experts to exchange experiences, tools and good practices from across the region. The events are structured around four key themes:
- urban nodes and governance,
- Sustainable Urban Mobility and Logistics Planning (SUMPs & SULPs),
- active mobility, and
- multimodal mobility hubs and urban logistics.
Upcoming events
Data-driven SUMPs: From fragmented data to integrated mobility systems
10 September (11:00-12:15 CEST) at EIT Urban Mobility North Summit 2026, invitation only
Modern cities do not only manage passenger transport. They must also manage the daily movement of goods, services, construction flows, waste, home deliveries and essential logistics that keep urban life functioning. Increasingly, this complexity is mediated through data that is collected, owned, shared and processed across public and private actors. Yet today, mobility and logistics data ecosystems are highly fragmented. Passenger data, freight data, infrastructure data and land-use data often sit in separate systems, governed by different actors, standards and incentives. This fragmentation limits cities’ ability to use AI effectively, slows down innovation, creates duplication, and weakens decision-making. At the same time, Europe is moving toward a more structured and strategic approach to data through initiatives such as the European Mobility Data Space (EMDS). This raises fundamental questions for cities: Who owns mobility data? Who can access it? Under what conditions can it be shared? And how can interoperability be ensured so that data can be used across systems, sectors and use cases? This workshops seeks to address these questions and to exemplify specific examples from different cities.
The session is part of the EIT Urban Mobility North Summit and invitation only.

From data to decisions: implementing SUMPs
15 September 2026 at CIVITAS Forum 2026
The workshop aims to explore how Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) can evolve to address Functional Urban Areas (FUAs), improve mobility data collection and strengthen implementation phase with clear guide on the usage of collected data. The discussion will build on the updated SUMP guidelines and indicators, including emerging mobility trends, the role of integrated public transport systems and stronger focus on integration of urban logistics as a component and consideration in SUMPs. The workshop will also be used to validate the updated SULP guidelines (forthcoming). Special focus will also be given to how data supports decision-making, multimodal public transport planning, network integration and evidence-based policy development, experimentation, and scaling of mobility innovations in complex urban systems.
The session is organised in collaboration with CERTH and POLIS.
The session is part of CIVITAS Forum 2026 and you can register on CIVITAS website.
POLIS-Scandria Alliance-BSR Workshop: Urban Nodes at the core of TEN-T
1 October (13:00-15:30 CEST) Nordic House/Oslo Region European Office, Rue du Luxembourg 3 / 5, 1000 Brussels
This in-person workshop, organised in collaboration with the Scandria Alliance and the BSR Urban Mobility Interreg project platform, focuses on urban nodes and their new requirements.
Two years into the revised TEN-T Regulation, this workshop brings together the POLIS Urban Nodes Taskforce and Access Working Group to take stock of where urban nodes stand in meeting their new obligations and what still needs to happen. We will examine how cities are being integrated into TEN-T corridor governance, where multi-level cooperation is working, and where gaps in policy, capacity, and funding remain. The goal is a frank dialogue between urban nodes, national authorities, and EU policymakers to identify what support cities need, and how EU funding under the next MFF can better align with TEN-T requirements.
The session is open for everyone.
You can register to the session on the POLIS website.
Past Events
TEN-T Urban Nodes in the Baltic Sea Region – From Regulation to Implementation
10 June 2026, online
This session explored how new TEN-T requirements for urban nodes translate into practical action, focusing on real challenges and solutions faced by cities and regions. It brought together participants from across the Baltic Sea region to share experiences, reflect on current progress, and exchange ideas on planning, governance, and implementation.
The presentations given in the session can be found below:
EUSBSR Annual Forum breakout sesson: From plans to reality: governing urban mobility for resilience
Cities across the Baltic Sea Region have developed SUMPs and integrated TEN-T objectives, yet implementation often stalls. This session offers a reality check from BSR urban nodes, drawing on survey insights across different governance contexts. It examines political and governance conditions shaping implementation and identifies challenges requiring cross-sectoral and multi-level cooperation, delivering policy-relevant messages for the BSR Urban Mobility Policy Framework and EUSBSR Action Plan.
Report on the session can be found here: STANDARDIZED REPORT: BSR Urban Mobility session at EUSBSR
Webinar on Urban Mobility and TEN‑T Readiness: Key Insights from the Baltic Sea Region
11 March 2023, online
This webinar offered mobility professionals, researchers, and representatives of local and regional authorities a comprehensive overview of current trends, gaps, and opportunities in sustainable urban mobility and logistics planning across the Baltic Sea Region, supporting evidence-based planning, policy development, and regional collaboration.

Webinar recording and summary of the session are also available on the BSR Urban Mobility project page.
All training materials and key outcomes from the BSR Urban Mobility events will be collected and published here in the Baltic Sea Region SUMP Competence Centre. Possible recordings of online events, all presentations, case examples and practical tools shared during the events will be made available online, allowing cities and stakeholders across the Baltic Sea Region to benefit from the results also beyond the live sessions and after the project’s lifetime
The BSR Urban Mobility project platform connects cities, regional authorities, and policymakers in a peer learning network to support the implementation of sustainable urban mobility plans and deliver on EU goals for multimodal, zero-emission transport. BSR Urban Mobility consolidates outcomes from 17 EU projects.
