What are people saying about ITS Birmingham?
“These Congresses have been very important in two ways: First, they have helped us understand the needs of the sector when we were in the process of thinking and preparing for the revision of the directive. And now they are of course helping us to communicate with the sector on the changes we made and how to implement them."
