Conference
11th International Conference on Mobility Challenges
The 11th edition of the annual International Conference on Mobility Challenges brings together experts from academia and industry, pushing the frontier of challenges at the intersection of automotive, energy, and mobility sectors. We welcome internationally renowned speakers as well as participants from the three sponsoring chairs, along with specialists from a wide range of public and private sectors (economics, technical, business, finance). This diverse mix has consistently provided fertile ground for valuable insights, new connections, and fresh questions and ambitions.
This year, the conference will take place slightly later in the academic calendar to ensure maximum participation. The key topics we will focus on include the decarbonization of long-distance transport, making the transition in private fleets more affordable, and carbon compensation strategies for the automotive industry. The event will close with a roundtable discussing how transport is at the cross-roads between the main challenges of the decade: accessibility, acceptability, energy transition, reindustralization, protectionism, climate justice.
Presentations during the day are invited talks but students and young researchers are welcome to submit their papers to be presented in the poster session. Attendance is free but requires registration.
