Championed by the European Commission every year, European Mobility Week 2026 seeks to promote sustainable urban mobility across European cities. It encourages behavioural change in favour of active mobility, public transport and other clean, intelligent transport solutions.
For this edition, European Mobility Week keeps the theme that made the success of the last edition: Mobility for Everyone, with a focus on intergenerational fairness, recognising that people of all ages, from children and young people to adults and older people, experience different mobility needs and challenges throughout their lives.
In this context, EIT Urban Mobility will held several mobility actions, including a Steps Challenge and two webinars, focused on citizen engagement and on how cities can improve everyday mobility.

Webinar: Building better commutes: how European cities are improving everyday mobility
Daily commuting affects far more than how we get from A to B. It can influence our wellbeing, productivity and willingness to choose sustainable transport. Drawing on an EIT Urban Mobility survey of 1,503 commuters across Barcelona, Munich and Bucharest, this webinar will examine common challenges such as safety, reliability, congestion and overcrowding, while highlighting practical initiatives to make public transport and active mobility more attractive.
More information available soon.
Webinar: Citizen engagement across the circle of life
How can cities create transport systems that work for people at every stage of life? This webinar explores the circle of mobility and the importance of involving citizens in shaping the transport systems they use. Through inspiring examples from the EIT Urban Mobility network, including the cities of Nicosia, Utrecht and Barcelona, participants will discover how engaging people across the life course leads to more inclusive, accessible and people-centred mobility solutions. As a practical takeaway, participants will also receive a Citizen Engagement Across the Life Course Miro Board: a ready-to-use resource to inspire and support engagement with different communities in their own cities.
