This includes fostering innovation and entrepreneurship skills in a lifelong learning perspective. The EIT Urban Mobility Academy consists of three main areas: The Master School, the Doctoral Training Network and the Competence Hub, our professional school targeting lifelong learning.

| Short summary of the topics to be addressed | Master School: Specified activity areas to meet the EIT Urban Mobility Master School targets, including summer schools, awareness raising activities and/or courses, and innovative teaching methodologies with a Knowledge Triangle perspective. All Master School activity topics should consider Knowledge Triangle Integration, not only in the implementation of the programmes but also in their design, planning, and strategic direction. Additionally, a key component in all Master School funded activities, not least around recruitment, needs to be how gender mainstreaming is integrated. Likewise, geographical coverage should be diversified (e.g. EU, non-EU, RIS). Doctoral Training Network: Specified activity areas to meet the EIT Urban Mobility Doctoral Training Network targets, including innovation and entrepreneurship curricula and teaching methodology for PhD candidates with a Knowledge Triangle perspective and PhD candidates start-up activities. A key component in all our Doctoral Training Network funded activities, not least around recruitment, needs to be how gender mainstreaming is integrated. Likewise, geographical coverage should be diversified (e.g. EU, non-EU, RIS). Competence Hub: Specified activity areas to meet the EIT Urban Mobility Competence Hub targets, including synchronous blended and face-to-face courses with significant revenue potential, latest learning methodologies and technologies, course formats based on existing trade fairs and conferences, community engagement and inter-sectorial collaboration courses and networking. All Competence Hub related activities should consider strengthening practical skills in a way that it can be easily transferable to professional practice. Training programmes in urban mobility need to be specific and tailored to the professional realities of the learners. As much as possible, the development of new courses and learning experiences should also leverage on the courses and content already developed and delivered by the Competence Hub (www.urbanmobilitycourses.eu). The gender perspective needs to be further emphasised and integrated in the Competence Hub courses and have gender balance in terms of participation. Likewise, geographical coverage should be diversified (e.g. EU, non-EU, RIS). |
