Research Focus
The aim of our research and teaching is to make a significant contribution to the development of an integrated system of transport, space, environment and society that ensures essential mobility for people and goods in a sustainable way. In research we: (1.) analyse the interactions between mobility behaviour, transport system, society, economy, space and the environment; (2.) collect data and create methodological foundations and tools for sustainable transport planning and sustainable mobility solutions; (3.) actively contribute to the dissemination of knowledge through cooperation with partners from practice and administration and through community-oriented events; (4.) work with utmost diligence and integrity to achieve evidence-based results of highest quality. In teaching we: (1.) equip our students with comprehensive knowledge and methodical tools needed for their professional careers; (2.) convey latest knowledge in transport in a research-led approach and in interesting, varied and interactive teaching formats; (3.) encourage and challenge our students' creativity and independence. As institute we: (1.) work respectfully in multi-disciplinary teams; (2.) create an open atmosphere that supports creativity and allows out-of-the-box thinking; (3.) promote the professional development of our staff; (4.) make decisions in a transparent and participatory way.
