**Who are we?**

Our mission is to accelerate change towards a sustainable model of urban mobility and liveable urban spaces. We connect public and private actors and provide them with access to markets, talent, finance and knowledge.

Using cities as living labs, our industry, research and university partners will demonstrate how new technologies can work to solve real problems in real cities by transporting people, goods and waste in smarter ways.

**About EIT Urban Mobility Academy**

Our **EIT Urban Mobility **Academy** is a collaborative arena for lifelong learning, helping to build critical capabilities for innovation and transformation. We are training the next generation of urban mobility practitioners, needed by the urban mobility ecosystem of the future. Within the Academy, there are three main areas: the Master School, the Doctoral Training Network and the Competence Hub.

The **Academy Competence Hub**, via the commercial sub-brand **Urban Mobility Explained (UMX)**, offers intensive programmes on hot topics in urban mobility and transport to work with professionals from different sectors, such as project managers, engineers, city executives and entrepreneurs, co-created by our partners in various locations in Europe. This lifelong learning initiative uses a variety of formats including light online material in a YouTube channel, online courses (asynchronous), and applied courses (on-site, online synchronous and blended). It aims to train 50,000 people per year and to reach a total of 500,000 people per year through its online offers.

The **EIT Label** is a quality mark awarded to excellent development courses that are focused on innovation, entrepreneurship, creativity, and leadership. Courses that meet these criteria undergo a quality assessment process before they can be awarded the EIT Label. The assessment process is designed to ensure that the courses are of the highest quality and that they are delivering real value to professionals and employers.
