The value was less in any single session than in the range of them: seeing how differently colleagues frame mobility problems — from travel behaviour through infrastructure to policy design — is a useful corrective when you spend most of your time deep inside one method.</p> <p>Alongside the research exchange, the forum is built around the network&rsquo;s training in innovation and entrepreneurship, and it left room to get to know peers properly. Exploring Lisbon between sessions was no hardship either.</p> <p>Grateful for the opportunity, and looking forward to the next one.</p>
