The euMOVE - European Mobility Venture student project entered its second round in the summer semester of 2021.
A group of 12 students once again set off to three European cities to benchmark mobility innovations and examine their transferability to Munich.
What do Copenhagen, Oslo and Amsterdam have in common? All three cities are considered pioneers in the field of sustainable mobility innovation, with a role model role in the area of cycling and electromobility - two topics that also play a major role for Munich, among others, and are therefore firmly anchored in the MCube sub-projects that are about to start. So it's no wonder that the students - after researching Stockholm, Talin/Helsinki and Barcelona with their predecessors last year - chose Copenhagen, Oslo and Amsterdam as suitable research destinations.
This year's cohort consisted of 12 TUM students from a wide range of disciplines, from engineering and management to social sciences. In small interdisciplinary groups, four students each set off for one of the three cities. The students were not only to gather impressions of the local mobility system and its context as well as trends in the field of mobility innovation, but above all to identify key similarities and differences and thus the potential pontential for Munich.
After eight intensive months of work, including numerous interviews with experts, document analysis and the highlight, a 10-day research stay in the respective target city, the project was successfully completed in October 2021. The students presented their results at the October 1, 2021 in the new premises of the Munich Urban Colab in front of representatives of the MCube consortium and other interested partners and stakeholders via Zoom. They also summarized their findings in a project report, which can be downloaded here.

We would like to congratulate all students on their successful project completion and thank them for their commitment!
A new study by MCube Consulting on behalf of Zukunft Nahverkehr (ZNV) shows: Local public transport generates three times as much revenue for the German economy as it costs.
Mobility is at the heart of Germany's economic and innovative strength, the key to climate neutrality and the core of everyday life.
Carolin Zimmer from the Chair of Settlement Structure and Transport Planning and Sebastian Preiß from the Hans Sauer Foundation explain in an interview what the project has achieved and what makes it special.
Major award for a strong team: MCube Consulting receives the Innovation Award of the City of Munich - for a solution that reduces administrative workload, improves security and shows how research enables real change.
If Munich bids for the Olympics again, it will not do so arbitrarily - but with vision, attitude and a clear plan.
MCube had its own stand at the trade fair and brought together over 100 mobility pioneers at the "Bridging City Innovation Ecosystems" event above the rooftops of Barcelona.
What does the bus of tomorrow need to look like to convince as many people as possible to change buses voluntarily?
Our experts gave keynote speeches on why we need fair, inclusive mobility that is suitable for everyday use for everyone.
The city council of Landsberg am Lech has unanimously approved the new traffic development plan (VEP).
Innovation pioneers meet in Jülich to share transfer strategies, forge alliances and shape the future.
What is MOSAIQ?
Imagine something: There is more space for people. The streets have more trees and plants. Everyone can get around better. That's how your Schwabing-West district could be in the future. How would you like your district to be? We want to talk to you about it!
The project is called MOSAIQ. MOSAIQ is a research∙project. MOSAIQ means: Mobility and urban climate in the future city∙part. The Technical University of Munich is leading the project.
What is MOSAIQ about?
MOSAIQ wants to make the streets in the city∙part more beautiful. People should feel comfortable there. There should be more space. For meetings and plants, for example. You can help decide what is tried out in the Stadt∙teil. The ideas come from you. Some ideas will be tried out on the streets for a certain period of time.
The aim of MOSAIQ is to make urban districts good places to live.
At the same time, the climate in the city should improve. And people should be able to move around the city easily.
What is happening in the district?
