In the summer semester of 2022, the student project euMOVE - European Mobility Venture was carried out again, as in the previous year.
A group of 12 students embarked on a research trip to three European cities to benchmark innovative mobility solutions and examine their transferability to the Munich metropolitan region.
What have Brussels, Lisbon, Milan and Paris together? All four cities are pursuing ambitious approaches to promote sustainable urban mobility - they are strengthening public transport, creating space for cycling and active mobility and developing measures to reduce motorized private transport. These are topics that are also of central importance for Munich and therefore play an important role in the current and planned MCube sub-projects. Following the study of Copenhagen, Oslo and Amsterdam by the previous cohort, this year's students deliberately chose these three target regions.
This year's cohort once again consisted of 12 students from the Technical University of Munich from various disciplines - from engineering and management to social sciences. In small interdisciplinary groups, four students traveled to each of the three target regions. The aim was not only to gain insights into the local mobility systems, their contexts and current innovation trends, but above all to identify similarities, differences and the potential that can be derived from them for the Munich metropolitan region.
After several months of intensive work, including interviews with experts, document analyses and a research stay of several days in the respective cities, the project was successfully completed in September 2022. The students presented their results to representatives of the MCube consortium and other partners at a closing event on September 15, 2022. The results were also summarized in a joint project report.

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.
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.
Develop the next mobility innovations for metropolitan regions. Together. Possible. To make it happen.
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 mobility innovations be designed responsibly — and what political frameworks are needed for this?
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.
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?
