2021 Global Symposium on Connected & Automated Vehicles and Infrastructure

*The event program is LIVE at https://ccat.umtri.umich.edu/symposium*

The CCAT Global Symposium on Connected and Automated Vehicles and Infrastructure is an annual event featuring leaders in the transportation and mobility sector from across the globe. The 4th Annual Symposium will feature panels covering the FCC reallocation of the 5.9GHz spectrum, transportation equity, mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) and mobility-on-demand (MoD), and much more! A second track will also be offered that will provide findings from recently-completed CCAT research.

New for 2021: The 2021 Global Symposium will be returning to the two-day, two-track format while remaining entirely virtual. Expect all of the excitement of an in-person conference from the comfort of your home. A new and improved version of the Student Poster Competition will also be offered. The virtual setting will provide attendees with plenty of time to speak with budding researchers about their work. The first 195 people to register, have an opportunity to receive unique, CCAT swag ahead of the event (U.S. residents only).
