Mobility is in transition. Today’s mobility of people and goods is undergoing a fundamental and long-term change: While many countries worldwide shift away from the traditional car-friendly paradigm to promote sustainable transport such as cycling, walking, and public transport, there is also a push towards the electrification of motorized vehicles and the search for alternative engine technologies across the automotive industry. Which challenges stem from the mobility transition? Which disruptive technologies and innovations drive the mobility transition? Which technological and societal solutions on an international scale should be pursued to foster the mobility transition? Join us from the 20th to the 21st of July, 2021, for the Boysen-TU Dresden Summer School 2021 to find out more about ‘Mobility in Transition’ and interdisciplinary facets of this global socio-technical transition.

This project is funded by the Friedrich and Elisabeth Boysen Foundation, the Technische Universität Dresden, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Free State of Saxony as part of the federal and state government's Excellence Strategy. The DRESDEN-concept Science and Innovation Campus measure supports summer schools, among other things, in order to strengthen the cooperation between the involved institutions, to bundle their research competencies, especially in interdisciplinary topics, and thus to further increase the attractiveness of the location for (inter)national students and postdocs.
