Webinar
Managing the unexpected: SUMP and new mobility services during COVID-19 (en)

HARMONY is organising its first webinar on 14th December 2020. The main goal of the webinar is to present the project initial findings and to explore whether new mobility stakeholders’ requirements have arisen, especially due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 

The webinar is structured around two main sessions on Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning (SUMP) and new transport modelling, business models and mobility services respectively. Several HARMONY partners will present the initial project outcomes, as well as the results of the HARMONY survey on the COVID-19 impact on transport planning priorities. Additionally, HARMONY invited the project LEAD to bring the added value of their research into digital twins and sustainable urban logistics. This synergy among similar CIVITAS projects will offer an enriching occasion to join forces and exchange knowledge among H2020 initiatives. Similarly, a lively discussion will be encouraged by a mix of platforms, such as presentations, round tables and an interactive workshop. 

The online workshop is part of a wider strategy aiming at reaching out to relevant stakeholders in order to grasp their needs and preferences in terms of passenger and freight mobility and spatial solutions. The workshop will address key topics and challenges in the post COVID-19 era, such as SUMPs, transport modelling, business models and new technologies (especially automated vehicles and drones).
