As Europe confronts the twin imperatives of climate adaptation and geopolitical resilience, strengthening road infrastructure has become a key strategic challenge. The growing frequency of extreme weather events - floods, heatwaves, freeze-thaw cycles- is accelerating the deterioration of critical assets. In parallel, the EU’s focus on military mobility highlights the need for infrastructure that can seamlessly serve both civilian and defense purposes. In addition, the decarbonization of transport infrastructure remains a strong priority, requiring the deployment of low-emission construction techniques, the integration of renewable energy, and the promotion of greener mobility options. These priorities must also be aligned with road safety enhancements to ensure that modernization efforts deliver both environmental and societal benefits.
Addressing these challenges requires substantial and well-targeted investments to upgrade existing networks and develop new infrastructure that is resilient, interoperable, and sustainable. But the scale of these needs raises essential questions: What type of investments will be required to face those challenges? What innovative and sustainable financing mechanisms can support this transformation in line with EU climate and security objectives?

The 53rd ASECAP Days will provide a high-level platform to explore these questions, focusing on how to channel investments toward climate-resilient infrastructure, enable dual-use functionality for civil and military needs, and mobilize both public and private capital through EU-aligned sustainable finance frameworks.

The following topics will be addressed:

• Developing Climate-Resilient Road Networks: Integrating Asset Management and Risk-Based Strategies
• Harnessing Pricing Systems to Achieve Net-Zero Goals
• Towards Resilient and Carbon-Neutral Infrastructure: Rethinking Investment and Innovation for Tomorrow’s Mobility
