XII Symposium on Urban Mobility Challenges

CARNET's annual symposium, this year on how data and AI are reshaping the automotive value chain and urban mobility, at the UPC civil engineering school on Carrer de Jordi Girona. Doors at 08:30, about five hours.

The premise is that vehicles are becoming software-defined, data-generating machines while cities turn into dense networks of sensors and services, and that AI now sits across both: powering connected and automated vehicles, optimising traffic in real time, and giving public administrations new tools to plan and evaluate. Sessions and panels bring together speakers from research centres, automotive companies and public administrations, with case studies on connected and automated vehicles, real-time traffic optimisation and shared data platforms. Free, with paid parking on site.

Why go: research, industry and city government in one room on mobility data is specific to Barcelona and hard to assemble yourself. Best for mobility engineers, urban data people and anyone selling into city administrations.
