Governance and Mobility Transition: ReMIX Dialogue on Responsible Innovation Processes

As part of the ReMIX project, the Chair of Climate and Environmental Policy at the Technical University of Munich and acatech – German National Academy of Science and Engineering held a dialogue on legal and political frameworks for responsible mobility innovations on May 27, 2025.

The central question was what institutional prerequisites promote or hinder sustainable mobility solutions in the Munich region. Expert contributions from Peter Kasten (Öko-Institut) and Prof. Miranda Schreurs (TUM) stimulated discussions on social justice, governance, and current developments in the mobility transition. 

Together with representatives from various MCube projects, participants discussed, among other things, how governance and planning processes can be made more innovation-friendly and what prerequisites are necessary to anchor mobility projects regionally in the long term.

The central question was how mobility innovations can be more closely aligned with societal needs and local contexts within responsible innovation practices, and how technological developments can be understood as social negotiation processes.

Develop the next mobility innovations for metropolitan regions. Together. Possible. To make it happen.

In 2025, representatives from various municipalities regularly met as part of a Community of Practice to exchange ideas on meaningful practices with urban data for sustainable mobility.

A recent study from the ReMIX environment investigates, through urban experiments in Munich, how specific mobility futures are made effective by three central performative mechanisms.

How can questions of equitable mobility be jointly researched and shaped? The seminar „Planning for Mobility Justice“ at the TU Munich highlights different perspectives on mobility (in)justice.

At re:publica 2026 in Berlin, MCube was represented at Europe's largest digital and society conference – with all 21 cluster and campus initiatives of the BMFTR.

5,000 guests, many insights: TUM's Sustainability Day made sustainable innovation tangible.

MCube Consulting is introducing SmartEvent, a digital tool that makes event registration in Munich easier and more efficient through the use of geodata.

The new study shows: Every euro invested in public transport in the MVV generates almost four times the economic value added.

Electric, autonomous, networked: The logistics industry is facing a major transformation. The MCube Speaker Series at the Deutsches Museum discussed how this future can become reality.

The lessons learned from the first MCube funding phase show which factors really drive projects forward - and where typical barriers arise.

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?

  • In the year 2025:
    The people in the district can participate. They can express their ideas. There are discussions, surveys and meetings. Researchers are also starting their work.
  • In the year 2026:
    Some ideas are tried out.
    They are moved around the streets for a certain period of time.
  • In the year 2027:
    The results are evaluated.
    Consideration is given to how things can continue∙.
