Join the final event of the KEYSTONE project (featuring its sister project SETO) at TRA 2026 in Budapest.
This event marks the Final Event of the EU-funded KEYSTONE project, presenting key results and lessons from 3 years of work on digital solutions for smarter, paperless, and more efficient enforcement compliance in transport and logistics.
Featuring contributions from the sister project SETO, the event will centre on a series of interactive panel discussions bringing together key stakeholders from across the sector. These sessions will explore how complementarity between EU initiatives, through interoperable systems, data sharing, and innovation, can enhance cooperation between operators and enforcement authorities. Drawing from lessons learned, the panels will highlight key insights from pilot activities, address current challenges, and explore future opportunities for advancing smart and integrated transport solutions.
Project representatives will share insights from real-world pilots, highlighting challenges and barriers. The event will also explore how the legacy of both projects can be sustained beyond their lifetime, paving the way for smarter transport solutions across Europe.
Registration of participants and opportunity for informal networking over coffee.
Opening remarks and project overview by the Project Coordinators.
Key insights from leading experts on digitalisation, innovation, and compliance across Europe’s transport and logistics sector.
Moderation: Mauro Dell’Amico
Panel discussion:
This session explores how operators and enforcement authorities can collaborate more effectively in a digitalised freight ecosystem. It addresses challenges such as fragmented systems, legacy processes and complex data exchange across Europe. The discussion highlights the role of common standards, interoperable platforms and lessons from KEYSTONE and SETO. It also considers the impact of emerging technologies on compliance, enforcement and sustainability, as well as the need to build trust and reduce administrative burden.
Moderation: Andrea Condotta, Public Affairs, Sustainability & Innovation Director, Gruber Logistics
Panel discussion:
This session will present the lessons learned from real-life pilots carried out within the KEYSTONE and SETO projects. Speakers will share key findings, highlighting the main lessons, challenges, and barriers encountered during implementation. The discussion will provide practical insights into what worked, what didn’t, and why—helping bridge the gap between pilot testing and real-world deployment.
Moderation: Giulia Renzi, Senior European Project Manager, UNIMORE
Panel discussion:
The final session looks beyond the end of both projects, exploring how their results can create lasting impact. It will address future challenges and opportunities, highlighting key policy, business, and socio-technological barriers. Through an interactive discussion, speakers will identify how to turn project outcomes into scalable, real-world solutions, actively engaging the audience in shaping the way forward.
Moderation: Francesca Sabatini, Researcher & Project Manager, Institute of International Sociology – ISIG
