In the iconic building, the Evoluon, in Eindhoven, over 350 professionals in the field of ecology and transport infrastructure gathered from 10 – 14 September for IENE 2018. For over a year, PINO worked intensively together with the Organising Committee to develop and prepare the event concept, programme, inivitation and communication to participants and the logistical and facilities organization. With more than 38 nationalities represented, the partners (Rijkswaterstaat, ProRail, Province of Noord-Holland, Province of Noord-Brabant and the Flemish government) look back on a particularly successful conference.
