From May 11 to 16, ISEL hosted the in-person component of the blended intensive programme (BIP) “Smart Cities & Integrated Mobility – Innovative Solutions for Multimodal Public Transport Systems”, coordinated by Professor Matilde Pato (DEI/ISEL).
The initiative provided an intensive learning experience focused on current challenges in sustainable urban mobility, highlighting the importance of programs that combine theoretical and practical training with international cooperation to reflect on the future of smart cities. The programme included online learning, in-person sessions in Lisbon, and applied work in real-world contexts, enabling participants to develop advanced skills in multimodal planning, public transport system integration, and intelligent mobility management.
The BIP “Smart Cities & Integrated Mobility” brought together students and lecturers from universities in several countries (Portugal, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Georgia, and Poland), members of the U!REKA network. Its partners included the Lisbon City Council, Oeiras Municipality, and Parques Tejo.
