Communication & Dissemination
The dissemination of knowledge about ITS is one of the institutional priority tasks of TTS Italia.
Since its inception, the Association has dedicated considerable resources to identify and prepare the
most appropriate and qualified communication instruments to guarantee updated information to
members on ITS systems regarding initiatives and projects being carried out and development trends.
The TTS Italia dissemination tools are:
The website www.ttsitalia.it
The website is composed of a public area and a member-reserved area, accessible by password.
The public area is bilingual, in that each page of the Italian version has an analogous page in
English.
The public area of the website provides clear and easily accessible information about ITS and
what is done in Italy in this sector through the activities developed by the Association and its
members. The site is therefore aimed at different types of users, such as companies and experts
in the sector, public administrators, the research world, students, but also the ordinary citizen who
wants to know more.
The TTS Italia website also offers a news service, which is updated on a weekly base by the
Secretariat of the Association with information regarding projects, initiatives, R&D programmes,
conventions, events and products.
The reserved area is organised in folders containing the principle directives and laws, which
regulate the sector both in Italy and in Europe, information on how to access the available
financial opportunities for research and development and for pre-competitive projects, national
and international tenders, reports and studies on ITS,...
