This course programme blends theoretical insights with practical applications, providing participants with the tools to design and implement sustainable and smart transport systems in urban environments. The interactive workshops and case studies will enable participants to develop strategies tailored to the unique needs and challenges of their cities.
Module: Workshops in groups
An online course is an excellent opportunity to broaden your knowledge. However, we recognise that a significant value of courses lies in the exchange of experiences among participants. This requires a certain level of openness and willingness to collaborate, which can sometimes only be fully unlocked through face-to-face interaction and the use of appropriate workshop solutions. That is why the programme for in-person courses includes 'Workshops in groups using real documents and a selected workshop format,' lasting approximately 90 minutes. These workshops are conducted during the second part of the course.
