Professional training
EIT Urban Mobility’s Urban Mobility Explained (UMX) helps professionals develop their skills and improve their knowledge in all areas related to urban mobility. Previously known as the Competence Hub, UMX leverages EIT Urban Mobility’s unique and growing network of prestigious experts to build relevant, trustworthy, and impact-oriented courses, methodologies, and learning communities.
We cover urban mobility through more than ten different angles, through a technical/technology focus, a socio-cultural focus, and an environmental focus.
Within UMX, we offer a comprehensive array of urban mobility educational resources including YouTube videos, online courses, face-to-face courses, webinars, blogs, and various other learning materials.

Understand urban mobility at your own pace
UMX Online courses
Designed by urban mobility professionals for urban mobility professionals, our e-courses cover a wide selection of innovative mobility topics, from new technologies to social and environmental best practice. We provide online learning courses to better understand current mobility trends as well as mobility challenges faced by local authorities and the mobility industry.
Our e-courses are therefore ideal for professionals willing to reskill or upskill, to occupy a new position within or outside their organisation. They are practical and easy to follow, showcasing success stories (and failures) and focusing on concrete solutions to your professional challenges.
You can take our courses for free, from any place, at any time, at your own pace. They take anywhere from 1-15 hours to complete.
Overcome mobility challenges with experts and peers
UMX Applied courses
Our applied learning programmes are designed to enable professionals and organisations to overcome their mobility challenges through active collaboration. We bring together participants and experts from different horizons (backgrounds, sectors, mobility areas, geographies, etc.) working on a common mobility issue. We provide participants with the necessary tools and frameworks to tackle challenges, and then we empower them to get to work!
We believe that open innovation and the breaking of silos is the easiest way to overcome the mobility challenges we face as individuals, organisations and societies. Challenge-based learning, peer-to-peer learning, practical workshops, and active methodologies are at the heart of our applied learning framework.
Our applied learning programmes are delivered in various ways, according to the challenge and the participants’ needs: from classical (applied) training sessions, workshops, and field visits to more customised activities such as coaching, simulations and prototyping. Moreover:
- Our trainings take place on-site, online or in a blended format to make the most of both modalities;
- They are held in English or in the local language;
- They are either open to any professional interested in the subject, or private and custom-designed to meet the needs of a specific organisation or ecosystem (such as a city).
The following two examples of open and customised applied courses will give you an idea of the applied learning programmes we design:
Supporting innovative learning projects and communities
UMX also brings together leading European learning organisations and experts from our partner network, so they can design new result-oriented training methodologies and modalities, to foster mobility innovation and entrepreneurship.
