The European Mobility Challenge is a competition launched by ERTICO where graduate students from European universities are tasked to solve real-world mobility problems. The winning team will have the opportunity to travel to Los Angeles and pitch their idea to industry leaders at the ITS World Congress in October 2020, as part of the Global Challenge competition organised by ITS America.
To enter the competition, organised jointly with ITS America and ITS Asia-Pacific, teams of three to five students should design a sustainable mobility solution for their home or university town focused on vulnerable road users.
The deadline to send a five to ten-page final paper has been extended to 30 April 2020.
“As urban networks grow, the needs of elderly, pedestrians, disabled, cyclists and women are often neglected. This competition aims to engage young talent in finding innovative solutions to meet the requirements of these users while improving mobility and reducing congestion”, says Irina Patrascu-Grant, Head of the European Selection Committee.
“This is an exciting opportunity to network with industry leaders and explore job prospects in the smart mobility sector”, says Beth Kigel, ELP Committee Chair. “The ITS World Congress is a unique launch pad for young entrepreneurs interested in an international career in mobility.”
