Imagine it’s 2035 and the CO2 emissions are reduced by 78%. Will there be autonomous vehicles and aerial transportation drones buzzing around the city? 

‘Future Explorations’ is a RUN-EU Short Advanced Programme (SAP) jointly coordinated by the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences (FHV), the Technological University of the Shannon (TUS), and the Häme University of Applied Sciences (HAMK).

Think about your future and the place you would like to live in. How do you imagine a sustainable city? And what does the transport system look like in this urban mobility scenario? Which role do emerging technologies play in moving towards an ecologically sustainable scenario? 

In this SAP, we will address these questions and work on two challenges brought in by mobility and transport companies and select a third challenge proposed by students.

In interdisciplinary teams, students will actively shape the future by developing prototypes of digital innovations and communicative solutions that contribute to sustainable development in the field of mobility and transport. All this with the support of an international team of lecturers and coaches, as well as RUN-EU corporate partners.
