The workshop was based on two main sessions:
- Opening Session with a Keynote by Siegfried Rupprecht, Rupprecht Consult, Coordinator of the finalized FP7 project Transforum. (http://www.transforum-project.eu/)

Four key questions lead the group discussion in the different phases of the interactive sessions:
- Which political, economic and societal factors will probably determine mobility demand in 2030?
- Which technology frameworks will probably enable the supply transport solutions in 2030?
- Which uncertainties will remain?
- Which factors will drive the system within the next 15 years?
