With climate change accelerating, climate adaptation is becoming an increasingly important topic for the world’s cities, which continue to grow and contribute immensely to global emissions. While transport-related public space in cities is too often neither sustainable nor effective, Nordic...

The development of transport electrification means the unsustainable production of expensive batteries including the high consumption of raw materials and, at the end of the life of battery electric vehicles (BEV), their energy-intensive recycling. Sustainable electrified urban transport requires the...

Through a blended–learning course, professionals and students will learn more about urban mobility and how it will develop in the future.   Participants will have the opportunity to engage with and learn from professionals in the sector, which could contribute to...

The programme aims to address the cycling gender gap that is prevalent in many cities by providing aspiring cycling advocates with the information, tools and support to provide training to beginner and amateur women cyclists. Over time, the community of...

While electric battery vehicles are becoming a popular alternative to motorised vehicles, they still face some challenges in terms of range, cost, and limited charging infrastructure in some cities. Hydrogen fuel cell batteries could help to tackle these challenges. A consortia comprised...

Speeding is the major cause of traffic accidents. As of this year, new vehicles have to be equipped with Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) systems that make sure that a vehicle does not exceed the legal speed limit. From 2024, this...

The Urban Mobility Changemaker is a course for urban mobility executives and professionals who will learn about change management, leadership, and innovation, as well as gain insights from current research in the field of urban mobility. Through a series of workshops and...

Public benches and seats are often seen as minor design objects in urban planning. Yet they are essential to support social interactions in public spaces, and providing a place to rest for pedestrians, cyclists, children, or for anyone who wants...

The rise of shared e-scooters in cities reduces car usage and helps achieve sustainable mobility goals but challenges related to shared public space between pedestrians, cyclists and micromobility users, operating costs, and ensuring clean sources of energy persist.  To this...

To help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as well as air and noise pollution, the ECOSWAP project is promoting the uptake of e-motorbikes by offering a battery swapping system to existing and new motorbike riders. Instead of having to pay for...

By 2030, 33 million electrical vehicle owners in Europe will need efficient charging. UMC is creating an on-demand electric vehicle charging service called NIMBEE which will operate in Žilina, Slovakia; Riga, Latvia, and Braunschweig, Germany.  Instead of drivers needing to...

The IPA2X project is helping to achieve zero accidents and decrease fatalities in urban areas. It will improve pedestrian safety by implementing a service of autonomous robots to assist pedestrians cross streets, notify nearby vehicles of the pedestrians’ movements, and identify...

Cities need help to reduce emissions, ensure the safety and mobility of cyclists and pedestrians, and improve quality of life for citizens. Autonomous bus shuttles can be a game changer for cities to address many of these challenges. However, current solutions...

As part of Toulouse Metropole’s flagship accelerator and incubator centre, B612, the Urban Air Mobility Plazza Accelerator multi-year programme will assist a minimum of 10 start-ups developing urban air mobility solutions from across Europe focusing on environmentally sustainable logistics and...

The 5G Turbo Accelerator will support up to 20 start-ups to address key challenges in urban mobility with a focus on developing 5G technologies and services to improve traffic efficiency and traffic management, smart parking options, and road safety solutions,...

E+Mobility is one of the thematic accelerator programmes of the Business Creation sector, and a continuation of the EIT Urban Mobility Hub South Acceleration Programme. The accelerator aims to support at least 10 start-ups in 2022 focusing on mobility and...

The Sustainable City Logistics Accelerator selects 10 start-ups per year to develop products and services to improve urban freight and goods transport. The participating start-ups benefit from an experienced consortium of seven industry and university partners and receive access to...

This four-week Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) focusing on how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport and transition to a more environmentally sustainable urban mobility future, will improve the knowledge of current professionals. Conducted by transport and urban planning...

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to networks of technologically enabled physical objects that can communicate with each other to exchange data and interact with their external surroundings. This allows remote access and control of smart devices which has been...

The Scale-up Programme will promote the proposed solutions of 12 mature European scale-ups, introduce them to different stakeholders, and provide access to mentors, learning sessions, and events. Additionally, seven of the participants will have the opportunity to access funding, on...
