EIT Urban Mobility Changemaker
Facilitating Change for Future Urban Mobility
The Urban Mobility Changemaker program consists of four online study tours and co-creation workshops organized in EIT Urban Mobility City Club cities in cooperation with local universities, together with a series of online courses that are highly scalable and can be disseminated among urban mobility and transport planning professionals. The core contents of this professional development program lie in understanding and facilitating organizational change and developing a collective understanding for (retro-)fitting public authorities and private actors to facilitate sustainable future mobility in different societal and geographic contexts.
The program aims to close the knowledge gap between decision making, planning, solution providers, and ultimately citizens and urban mobility users. The contents help participants to understand the behavioural and organizational structures which form the base for decision making in mobility planning, and hence create an understanding for context and the operational environment of urban mobility. Learning to lead change and drive innovation to pave the way for sustainable urban mobility innovations that impact future urban mobility are at the core of the program. The workshops will facilitate creating knowledge, building networks, gaining new insights from international industry cases and academia, and gaining access to topical research and experts.
The program offers theory and hands-on content for urban mobility executives and professionals, and specialists, researchers, decision-makers, planning officials, and representatives from NGOs, local authorities, and policy groups.
The EIT Urban Mobility Changemaker program is a joint effort by Aalto University Professional Development, Eindhoven University of Technology, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and UnternehmerTUM funded by EIT Urban Mobility.

Driving change and innovation in the field of urban mobility takes time. The stakeholder ecosystem is complex and decision making in the public realm often slow. A multitude of innovative solutions, technologies, and tools to work towards sustainable urban mobility already exist, but implementation is taking place rather sluggishly.
