Digital Twins for Europe’s Future Mobility
4 – 6 September 2024 | ETH Zürich, Hönggerberg, HIL E3 and HIT.
Today’s design reflects the car-oriented consensus, which was formulated between the 1930’s and 1950’s and adopted around the world since then. The climate crisis challenges this orientation and asks for designs which emphasize micro-mobility. The three days between September 4th and 6th bring together experts, students, and the general public to think together about how such a future could look. Talks, discussions, and interactive workshops offer the chance to learn together how to overcome the hurdles facing a climate-friendly environment.
