MUBIL and Tecnun their partnership agreement the framework City Science Lab Gipuzkoa

Tecnun, the School of Engineering at the University of Navarra, and MUBIL, an organization dedicated to smart and sustainable mobility, have renewed their partnership agreement the framework the City Science Lab Gipuzkoa (CSL@Gipuzkoa). This research lab works on sustainable mobility projects and is part of the network promoted by the MIT average in Boston.

Gutiérrez emphasized that the City Science Lab Gipuzkoa “enables a comprehensive analysis of mobility, incorporating data, land-use planning, public-private partnerships, and connections with the academic and professional communities.” In his view, “this lab helps generate knowledge for decision-making and strengthens an ecosystem capable of anticipating the mobility challenges of the future.”

Over the next three years, the laboratory will focus its efforts on analyzing various core topic aspects core topic . Among these, Scientific Director Zuriñe Varela highlights the study of daily mobility patterns for passengers and goods, accessibility to public transportation services, as well as the impact of housing prices and other factors on internal migration and the associated mobility needs. “Our work seeks to understand the relationships between all these factors in order to prioritize and coordinate initiatives aligned with the challenges of the environment,” she added.

Thus, Gipuzkoa is part of the exclusive network of cities around the world sponsored by MIT, the City Science Network, which also includes Shanghai, Taipei, Hamburg, Guadalajara (Mexico), Andorra, and BioBío (Chile), among others.

City Science Summit

Among the new developments, one highlight is the City Science Summit, which will be held this year in San Sebastián. This meeting the various laboratories of the network City Science network along with local stakeholders from the host city, with the goal sharing progress and forging new partnerships.

The first workshop place on November 4 at the Kursaal, where there will be demonstrations and open presentations. The meeting on November 5 at Tabakalera, with several more technical workshops.
