SAFER Study tour to Institute of Transport Economics (TØI) in Oslo
Welcome to join SAFER to the Institute of Transport Economics (TØI) in Oslo!
TØI, one of SAFER's close to 40 partners, is a national center for transport research in Norway responsible for conducting and promoting research for the benefit of society and industry. TØI also disseminate research results and help the research results to be utilized in society through collaboration. During the day together we will visit their facilities, learn about their research and about the competence available for us in SAFER. The purpose of the study tour is to learn more about the SAFER partners, share knowledge and get inspiration to new projects. And to have fun together of course!
The bus is comfortable with tabels and free WiFi so the bus trip can also be used for working.
