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 interactive discussion sessions to create a comprehensive landscape of societal trends and factors, e.g. policy, technology, economy, that will influence the future mobility transport system.

Siegfried Rupprecht presents the Transforum project and its results, in particular with regard to the upcoming questions and tasks in the Mobility4EU project.
Interactive session
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?
