3rd NATIONAL RESEARCH AWARD ON URBAN AND METROPOLITAN MOBILITY

The Association of Urban and Metropolitan Public Transport (Atuc Sustainable Mobility) brings together public transport companies in Spain, working for sustainable mobility and the continuous improvement of a sector that generates more than 25,000 jobs and moves more than 5,000 million euros per year in turnover. Thanks to the bus, metro, train and tram companies that make up this group, more than 3,000 million people can travel every year.
One of the strategic lines of the Association is to intensify the relationship between the university and the business environment, promoting innovation and research in the field of urban and metropolitan mobility. To this end, and in order to increase its presence in the academic world, while rewarding individual effort, Atuc announces the III National Research Award on Urban and Metropolitan Mobility.
