Description
Collaborating among seven UNITE! Universities, we aim to create a new online exchange module, for Unite!, EIT and local Master students called the “UNITE! Sustainable Mobility Forum.” Unite! professors will stimulate a year-round debate about mobility for sustainable and climate-resilient cities, which is one of the Unite! focus areas. Our aim is to cultivate the diverse expertise among Unite! professors of our alliance but also enrich that knowledge through industry representatives and policymakers from the Unite! ecosystem. We aim to ensure an intercultural, international, and interdisciplinary educational value for our students, but also extend the debate to the European public as the transport sector is a key contributor to climate change that we must bring to carbon neutrality as quickly as possible. The new exchange module prepares students to enter the dynamic labour market, providing European and interdisciplinary skills of critical inquiry and innovation.
