EIT Urban Mobility Academic Research Board June 2025
This first ‘Strategic Research Priorities and Gaps’ 2025 report, from the EIT Urban Mobility Academic Research Board, outlines the urgent and transformative challenges in urban mobility and identifies present and upcoming research priorities in urban mobility in Europe and beyond.
Framed around five key focus areas—economic productivity, resilience and adaptation, decarbonisation, health, safety and security, and accessibility, equity and inclusion—the report presents a high-level perspective on knowledge gaps and future research priorities. These are examined in the context of societal goals, systemic pressures, and critical policy levers.
Bringing together leading researchers from across Europe and beyond, the Academic Research Board was established to provide an independent, expert-driven view of the urban mobility research landscape over the next ten years. This foundational ‘Strategic Research Priorities and Gaps’ 2025 report will inform future editions, which aim to support guiding upcoming policy, innovation, and education in urban mobility.
