- The International Transport Forum’s Media Travel Programme
The International Transport Forum (ITF) is an intergovernmental organization that acts as a global transport policy think tank. Its annual Summit, which is held in May of every year in Leipzig, Germany, is the world’s leading transport policy event. Every year, it brings together transport ministers from 66 member countries with business leaders, top researchers, and key sector representatives for debate and networking. The theme of the 2024 Summit, which will take place from 22 to 24 May, is “Greening Transport: Keeping Focus in Times of Crisis”.
The ITF’s Media Travel Programme (MTP) facilitates the participation of journalists from non-European countries in the annual Summit by covering the costs for a return trip and accommodation during the Summit.
The MTP is in its twelfth year running. We have alumni from a wide range of highly regarded media from all around the globe, including USA Today, NPR, and the Los Angeles Times from the USA, The Globe and Mail and The Toronto Star from Canada, Yomiuri Shimbun from Japan, Folha de S.Paulo and Valor Econômico from Brazil, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, The Times of India, Clarin from Argentina and Milenio TV from Mexico, to name but a few.
