EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK was present at Urban Mobility Days 2025 (Vilnius, 30 September - 2 October). The conference gathered 800 policymakers, planners and mobility experts in person to exchange on key European urban mobility policy issues, with each of the three days dedicated to urban nodes, cycling and public transport, alongside the cross-cutting topics of competitiveness, innovation, and tourism.

During the opening plenary, Magda Kopczyńska, Director-General for Mobility and Transport at the European Commission, shared the EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK video clip on this year’s theme ‘Mobility for Everyone’. This helped draw attention to the Commission’s policy objective of addressing transport poverty with sustainable urban mobility options that are available, accessible, affordable, inclusive and safe; and ensuring that public transport, walking and cycling are fair options for everyone.

The European Commission's progress report on the European Declaration on Cycling was presented during the cycling plenary session on “unlocking the potential of urban cycling: from policy to practice”.

Anastasiia Makarenko, Co-Coordinator of the #BikesForUkraine campaign in Ukraine, then addressed the cycling plenary with a request for more bicycles, as a reliable mobility option for towns and villages where the road or public transport network is destroyed; or to bring some joy to children affected by Russia’s war of aggression.

Otherwise, the EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK stand in the exhibition area was very popular with mobility experts, city representatives and students alike, and served as a meeting point for the campaign national coordinators who attended the conference. EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK Coordinator Juan Caballero also moderated a session on adopting an integrated approach to public transport, land use and housing policies.
