"Nexus Thinking for a Sustainable Mobility Transition" at Boysen- TU Dresden Summer School
July 21, 2021 The Boysen-TU Dresden-Summer School 2021, organised by Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) is held from 20 -21 July 2021. This year’s topic “Mobility in Transition” aims to raise awareness of the complex socio-technical nature of transport systems and the ongoing processes of change. With mobility moving towards more sustainable solutions in the likes of electric vehicles, one primary challenge that arises is how we can manage a transition that is itself sustainable. On the one hand, we seek to achieve more sustainable modes of transportation. On the other, we speak of a major societal shift that would go beyond the technology perspective to cover behaviour change, potential environmental impacts, policy implications, and a transition that would take place in a world of various divides. With a little less than a decade to our deadline to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals, how do we ensure that we not only get there but also get there in a sustainable way? Identifying various interlinkages – or nexuses – including the Resource Nexus can help us orient our efforts to reap co-benefits for the environment and beyond. Bringing together leading specialists from academia, the public and private sector, this session aims to explore these questions from perspectives cutting across the local and international levels, public and private sectors. Looking at what they mean to people, the planet, and profits, all in all, with a view to power a transition in mobility that is fair and sustainable. Read more |

First course of SOLUTIONSplus global learning programme on electric mobility about to start
28. January 2021 Register now for our first course on e-mobility to get a basic understanding of e-mobility in a global and online learning environment! Register here
The global learning programme is based on the SOLUTIONSplus project, which started this year and aims to set up a global platform for shared, public and commercial e-mobility solutions. With the learning programme, knowledge and practical expertise are provided to a broad audience - it is primarily designed for city and regional authorities, but any stakeholder involved or interested in e-mobility is more than welcome to join. The first course consists of four thematic units: First, e-mobility is contextualised in the pursuit of decarbonising our transport systems. Secondly, a link between e-mobility and integrated planning is established. An overview of the e-mobility eco-system is presented and relevant sectors, stakeholder needs, as well as operator requirements, are mapped. Furthermore, students learn about good practice examples of policy measures and incentives to support the electrification of transport. This way, the course serves to establish a general framework to be built upon in all upcoming courses. In addition to lectures and material for self-study, a kick-off webinar gives key information and guidance about the learning programme and the SOLUTIONSplus project. Virtual exchange sessions are scheduled to accompany the course enabling interactive discussions with and among participants. |
