Summary SLOVENIA: The first press conference was held along with the SUMP presentation of Municipality of Ljutomer. The project in general was presented and also the linkages between SUMP and Workplace mobility plan of the municipality have been mentioned. The conference was very well attended by the media representatives and spread the news to the wider public. The second press conference was organized along to the regional conference of the sustainable mobility. The conference was held one hour before the event. We stressed out the importance of the workplace mobility plans in the region of Pomurje. Therefore, we decided to share our knowledge to other stakeholders to be able to prepare the WMP themselves. The third press conference was organised after the workplace mobility plan was developed and the bike shed – the pilot action was implemented. This conference was filled with many project results which reflects a good project implementation. AUSTRIA: Press conference 1: At the 24th April 2018 we arranged a press conference in Baden for the MOVECIT project. At the press conference mayor Stefan Szirucsek, vice mayor Helga Krimser as well as the coordinator of the department energy and climate in Baden Gerfried Koch and project coordinator of Climate Alliance Austria Natalie Weiß sat on the podium. Representatives of the Badner Zeitung and NÖN Baden took part in the press conference. The main focus of the press conference in Baden was “Mobility & workplace – potentials and plans for Baden”. The project MOVECIT was the main issue of the press conference. Details and the aim of the project were given as well as the information of the inclusion of other project partners in other cities of European countries. Furthermore, details about the project process in Baden were talked about. One important point was the emerging result for Baden. The mobilityplan was introduced to the press, how it was created and who was participating. Details of the first survey were pointed out. The main issue was that one third of the employees of the municipality commute less than 5km every day and that this was an important starting point for the project MOVECIT to make the way to work more sustainable. Different measures which will be implanted during the MOVECIT project were pointed. Not only constructional measures but also awareness-raising measures were pointed out as very important. Press conference 2: At the 17th Mai 2018 a press conference for the project MOVECIT was organised in Mödling. The focus was “Soft mobility. Mödling starts with the employees of the municipality”.
