The 17th ITS European Congress takes place in Istanbul from 27 to 29 April 2026, under the overarching theme Bridging Innovation: Integrated, Safe and Seamless Mobility. HIDDEN will be present with two Special Interest Sessions, both falling under the thematic topic Safety and Resilience Through Intelligent Systems.
The first, Human-centric approaches for safer and more trustworthy CCAM (SIS 27, Tuesday 28 April, 11:45–12:45), is organised by ICCS as HIDDEN’s coordinator and brings together researchers from HIDDEN, CERTAIN, and AGGREGATE projects.
