HUPMOBILE ONLINE CONFERENCE
This year's midterm conference of HUPMOBILE was supposed to be held in Hamburg. However, due to the Coronavirus outbreak, we cannot organize it as a face-to-face conference. Instead, we are organizing two short virtual events on different days discussing the future of mobility in the Baltic Sea Region cities. During these two days, we will focus on the concept of Fusion Mobility and whether COVID-19 has an impact on the development of sustainable mobility.
Fusion Mobility
November 26, 10:00-12:00 (CET)
During the first day the focus will be on the Fusion Mobility. The keynote speech will be provided by Mr. Manfred Neun, former chairman of the European Cyclists' Federation, who introduces the components of the Fusion Mobility. The theme will be further discussed with presentations of the best practices from similar projects.

How Active Mobility is leveraging systemic Fusion Mobility: Sustainable Strategy Planning |
Manfred Neun, info_outline Manfred Neun is a researcher, advocate and advisor for sustainable mobilities. As President of the European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF) from 2005 – 2017, and of the World Cycling Alliance from 2014 – 2018, he became a key figure in the world of global cycling advocacy. Prioritizing active modes of transport, he always worked on sustainable and systemic approaches in all mobilities. Internationally he is renowned as a respected expert in (1) Framing and widening the frames for sustainable mobilities; (2) Interdisciplinary approaches on complementary and integrated mobilities, to overcome the competition of transport modes on the way to connected mobility; and (3) Socio-economic values and sustainability contributions to better balance and guideline technical and behavioural solutions to the climate crisis and the UN Global Goals (SDGs). According to this he increasingly is contributing contentwise to the European Green Deal. Bringing all the expertise and experiences together, he introduced Fusion Mobility at the International Travel Demand Management (TDM) Symposium 2017 in Taipei, and in the follow-up he was a speaker about at the ITS World Conference 2018 in Copenhagen and other summits and scientific colloquia. The introduction of Fusion Mobility has launched an academic and practitioner discussion and is becoming a guideline for sustainable mobilities development. Practically it is mostly focused on (1) cities and regions, (2) green tourism and (3) industries, to support them all for a sustainable development of connected future mobilities. Manfred G. Neun is a member of the International TDM Committee and the Scientists for Cycling Advisory Board, CIVITAS SUMP ambassador and member of National and International boards and committees. He became a speaker on global summits as for example the International Transport Forum (ITF), many Velo-city conferences, and 2020 conferences as the ECOMM and the ESOF (Trieste), and was invited a guest lecturer many times. At his ECF farewell at the AGM 2018 in Milan his work was acknowledged with the title of an “Honorary ECF President”. For more information see also: |

Dr. Angela Francke, info_outline Angela Francke graduated in Transportation Economy with a specialization in traffic and transportation psychology and ecology at Technische Universität Dresden, Germany, in 2004. She works currently as PostDoc at the chair of transportation psychology with focus on transportation behavior, pricing, non-motorized transport and road safety and transportation in developing countries. Her PhD thesis is on pricing schemes in transport and how to influence the user towards a more sustainable mobility behavior using such schemes. From 2007 to 2013, she also lectured statistics and tourism sciences as a freelance at Hotel Academy Dresden. In 2012 and 2013 she went as guest lecturer and researcher with the Erasmus Mundus ACP program to the University of the West Indies, Trinidad and Tobago.

She is doing research related to GPS data in bicycle transport planning and was working with the Strava data for Germany. The main focus is on travel behaviour of different types of cyclists. She designed and conducted a nation-wide survey on the influence of the restriction due to the corona virus on mobility behaviour. These results can lead to policy recommendations for active mobility planning. |
