The INTEC Symposium held on June 3, 2025, at Adriatik University Bar in Budva, Montenegro, brought together more than 150 academic experts, local stakeholders, project partners, and students. The goal was to have a deep dialogue on sustainable mobility solutions in the Western Balkans (WB) region and to engage the local community in emerging mobility topics. The symposium was extensively covered by local and national media of Montenegro. The event was structured into keynote session, expert presentations, and podium discussions to encourage knowledge sharing and identify practical next steps.

The event was opened by Prof. Dr. Vinko Nikić, Dean of FSKL, followed by an introduction to the INTEC project presented by Daniela Wenzl. A keynote speaker opened the event and gave insights into mobility trends and challenges. The following presentations took place during the meeting.
