On Monday, 1 June 2026 – 13:30–14:30 CEST (12:30–13:30 BST / 14:30–15:30 EEST) – Connekt / ITS Netherlands — on behalf of the TISGRADE consortium (NDW) — is hosting an online ITS Nationals Talk. During this one-hour webinar, ITS Nationals representatives and members will be introduced to the European TISGRADE programme and discover what it means for their country and organisation.
ABOUT TISGRADE
TISGRADE (Traffic Information Services upGRADe Europe) is a CEF-funded project in which 20 EU member states plus Norway, together with service providers HERE, Be-Mobile, TomTom, Google Maps and Tripservice, are jointly working to upgrade Traffic Information Services across Europe — by improving the availability, quality and accessibility of Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI) data.
WHAT TO EXPECT
During this one-hour session, NDW (NL) as project coordinator and TISGRADE partners will:
- Explain what TISGRADE is, why it matters, and how it affects your country and organisation
- Share three inspiring, practical examples of RTTI improvements already delivering results
- Outline the process, approach and opportunities for ITS Nationals to get involved
This webinar is intentionally accessible: no deep technical background is required.
