We are pleased to announce the International Conference on Sustainable Transport – SuTra 2026, which will take place from 4 to 6 November 2026 in Opatija, Croatia, at Hotel Admiral.

The conference is organised by the University of Rijeka, Faculty of Maritime Studies and University North, Croatia.

Building on the established tradition of SuTra conferences, SuTra 2026 will continue to serve as an international interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of scientific research, professional practice, and policy perspectives in the field of sustainable transport.

Globalisation, climate change, technological transformation, and geopolitical uncertainty are reshaping transport systems worldwide. Increasing demands for the movement of goods and passengers place growing pressure on infrastructure, energy resources, the environment, and safety. Ensuring the sustainability, resilience, and efficiency of transport systems has therefore become a critical scientific, engineering, and societal challenge.

SuTra 2026 addresses these challenges through multidisciplinary and cross-sector dialogue, bringing together expertise from engineering, natural sciences, social sciences, economics, and policy studies. The conference promotes an integrated systems perspective, recognising that sustainable transport solutions must consider interactions between different transport modes, technologies, users, and regulatory frameworks.
