The Institute for Transport Studies would like to invite you to our networking event in London. This is a great opportunity for alumni to catch up with old friends and ITS staff. Our previous events have been attended by a diverse range of industry professionals from both the public and private sectors.

A drinks and canapés reception at 18.00 will be followed by brief presentations, including a keynote speech by leading alumnus Luis Pilo Willumsen. Luis has over 35 years of experience as a consultant, transport planner and researcher with a distinguished academic career. He is an internationally recognised authority in Transport and Traffic Modelling. Based in Britain since 1975, he was a researcher and lecturer at Leeds University, where he graduated from ITS with a PhD in Transport Demand Modelling and Forecasting in 1980. Luis became a Director of Steer Davies Gleave with a special responsibility for technical development; he left that company to set up his independent practice in December 2009. Luis has delivered projects in some 30 countries and in 2017 won the Master of Modelling Lifetime Achievement Award.

Whether you graduated recently or several years ago, come along and enjoy drinks and nibbles at the AECOM offices in Aldgate Towers.
