Great opportunity to learn more about state-of-the-art transportation systems.
UN-Habitat is hosting an innovative mobility course at their Academy of Sustainable Urban Mobility (AoSUM).
The course will provide participants with firsthand knowledge of sustainable transportation solutions such as cable cars, bus rapid transit, non-motorized transport, and much more.
Those lucky enough to be selected will participate in online training sessions as well as a 5-day workshop and field visit. While UN-Habitat does not specify what transport systems will be studied, it did mention a tour of Koblenz, Germany. And for those who are familiar with gondolas, it’s probably safe to say that a visit to the world’s first ropeway designed with “urban concept” cabins — the Koblenz Rheinseilbahn — will take place.
The application deadline is January 20, 2017 so don’t dawdle!
PS: did we mention that all costs for accommodations in Europe will be covered? 🙂
