Unite! Sustainable Mobility Forum

The UNITE! Sustainable Mobility Forum gives you a unique opportunity to dive into European sustainable mobility, engineering innovation, and policymaking. Throughout the year, you’ll get to engage with top professors, industry leaders, and policymakers as you work together to address mobility challenges for climate-resilient cities.

By the end of this seminar series, you’ll be able to explain and reflect on the complex links between mobility, accessibility, climate resilience, and sustainability. You’ll also see how these issues are shaped by global trends such as artificial intelligence, pandemics, and the evolution of big data.

Along the way, you’ll strengthen your skills in critical thinking, active discussion, and evaluation — learning to assess how mobility and accessibility innovations actually contribute to climate resilience and sustainability.

Through insights from experts in academia, policy, and industry, and by comparing different European contexts, you’ll explore today’s biggest challenges in the mobility sector and propose solid solutions to make transport systems more sustainable and resilient, both in Europe and worldwide. You’ll also build your ability to highlight the importance of international collaboration through public outreach, contributing to the search for practical sustainability solutions in this fast-moving field.

The forum is delivered as online lectures and is credit-bearing. Hosted on the Unite! Metacampus platform, it carries up to 12 ECTS credits and is designed for students in engineering, urban planning, mobility research, transport, traffic, and related disciplines.
