Final Report

Project

As part of the euMOVE project, teams of students are to investigate mobility in European metropolitan regions with a particular focus on the practical issues of shared mobility, mobility experiments and pricing. At the same time, the teams are to consider solutions to overarching issues that inevitably arise as a result of the transportation transition. These include dealing with crises and resilience, the post-growth debate, and the mobility transition discourse. The goal is to create two joint discussion papers, process the results for social media posts, and organize and hold a final event in cooperation with MCube, where the solutions found will be publicly discussed with experts.

The project members meet every two weeks Wednesday morning.
