EIT Urban Mobility Academy

Our Academy is a collaborative arena for lifelong learning, helping to build critical capabilities for innovation and transformation. We are training the next generation of urban mobility practitioners, needed by the urban mobility ecosystem of the future. Our programmes are intersectoral, interdisciplinary, international and entrepreneurial.

Master School

Master in Urban Mobility

The world’s cities are undergoing a massive transformation in how they function, how people and goods get from place to place, and how the city and its services are organised to support that movement. This transformation is being driven by new technologies, by new industrial actors, and by new priorities for meeting sustainability challenges.

To adapt to and to guide this transformation, the transport industry needs a new generation of graduates:

  • who can spur and harness innovation
  • who can work across the many disciplines in urban mobility
  • who have the entrepreneurial skills to maximise the potential of their creations.
