Expert exchange

Since May 2020, TUMI and the Volvo Research and Education Foundations (VREF) have invited a global selection of experts on sustainable mobility to participate in a round of online exchanges on capacity development and education for sustainable mobility. These Expert Exchanges #MobilizeMinds for the first time established a forum in international cooperation for developing a discourse and joint vision on the educational and professional development requirements and opportunities towards a global mobility transition. The collaboration goes back to the first joint TUMI-VREF conference in Addis Ababa in 2019, which brought together over 50 researchers and practictioners on sustainable mobility.

• The research findings presented during the webinar on April 21, 2020 developed a first capacity assessment of supply and demand in the sustainable mobility sector. Please find the paper “A 250k gap? Building Capacity for the Global Mobility Transition for download as well as a recording of the webinar.
