The Vehicle Future Hub (VFH) and the School of Convergence Science: Sustainability invite all Imperial Research Staff and Postdocs to join this collaborative and interactive workshop. This workshop aims to define priority research topics in the transport and mobility sector trended towards sustainability.
IMPORTANT: This event is for Imperial academic and research staff, and also postdocs. Places are limited, so please register early. We look forward to your participation!
What to expect:
- Workshop will aim at exploring Challenges, Opportunities and Collaborations in the Transport and Mobility sector.
- Road Transport – Decarbonisation of Heavy-duty Vehicles (Future Fuels, Reduction of Particulate Matter, Economic Growth)
- Future of Shipping – Decarbonisation, Requirements, Safety, New Fleets, New Technologies)
- Future Infrastructure – Developing Future infrastructure for electrification, Materials recycling, Regulations, New Ports
- Help develop call to actions and project initiatives to take forward.
