Editorial

Dear members,

I am delighted to welcome three new member cities to the Polis network: Aarhus in Denmark, Jerusalem in Israel and Limerick in Ireland!

Limerick Smarter Travel is active to build awareness of SUMP processes at community level. Aarhus has already been involved in European initiatives such as the SWITCH and READY projects, while Jerusalem have made good use of the last Polis Conference to network with peers from other cities and prepare for involvement in H2020 projects. We hope to welcome also the new members to the Polis Working Groups and look foward to successful cooperation and exchange!

I would like to take this opportunity to encourage all members to get in contact with the responsible Polis staff members to join the Working Groups of their interest and be part of the respective mailing lists.

Please login to the Polis website as a member to access all information addressed to Polis members only (green headline). If you do not know your login details, please contact us.

For now, I wish you a pleasant read!

Yours sincerely,

Karen Vancluysen
Secretary General
