Participate with your knowledge or experience
Asset owners, industry, and knowledge partners need to work together on solving issues related to tunnel renovations. Beyond a Tunnel Vision is aimed at sharing real-life problems and learning from practical solutions for asset owners.

The topics presented at the conference meet some requirements. Therefore, when you apply as a speaker (see form below), you need to address the practical value of your contribution to asset owners and fit your subject into the three goals of the European tunnel network. Preferably you join forces with another organization and make your presentation a co-production. For example client/contractor, asset owner/knowledge institute, contractor/sub-contractors, et cetera.
