The Transport Research into Practice (TRiP) network invites you to a flagship, in‑person programme that will equip senior decision‑makers with the skills to plan, design and govern sustainable, resilient and inclusive transport systems.​

The programme is delivered in two immersive weeks in the UK combining lectures, panels, case studies, and technical visits.

Week one comprises the core curriculum to all participants, elaborating on key topics of funding, financing, planning, regulation, and sustainability. Participants then choose a specialist track for the second week: railways, road, or maritime, which will be delivered in partnership with other TRiP world-leading institutions

The course will be hosted by Durham University Business School, where the entirety of Week ONE will take place. All delegates will attend the first core module for stronger cohort interaction useful networking time.

On Week TWO, delegates will start the week at the host of their specialism stream (Birmingham or Durham), and the whole cohort will reconvene in Durham for the final activities and certificate award ceremony.
