Annual Conference 2017
The SCCER Mobility 4th Annual Conference took place on 15 September at ETH Zurich. With over 120 participants including about 40 guests from public offices and industry, this event provided an opportunity to discuss relevant research topics and projects, exchange with academic and external experts as well as find new cooperation partners.
The two invited keynote speakers, Andreas Lischke (German Aerospace Center DLR Berlin) and Michael Frambourg (Volkswagen AG) set the tone of the conference running under the motto of cross-cutting research. Andreas Lischke focused on future developments and emissions of heavy-duty freight transport, while Michael Frambourg provided insights on VW’s strategy towards sustainability of passenger cars. Both speakers stressed the importance of a broad technology portfolio and investment in alternative fuels to meet climate goals, as battery electric technology will most probably not be able to cover all transport sectors and applications.
With a focus on Switzerland, the following three sessions addressed central themes in transport research: (1) the logistic challenge, (2) passenger mobility in cities and regions, and (3) energy for transportation. Sessions included SCCER Mobility contributions with up-to-date research activities and results along with inputs from external experts on these topics. This format stimulated a lively discussion and helped bridge the gap between science, industry and society.
Finally, an external review committee selected the best poster contributions and finalists had the chance to present their work in short poster pitches. Congratulations to Merla Kubli from University of St. Gallen, who won the SCCER Mobility Best Poster Award. Her poster presented ongoing research on assessing the willingness of electric vehicle owners to support smart grid flexibility.
For those, who were unable to attend or who would like to brush up, all presentations and posters are available for download below. We hope to welcome you next year and enjoy reading!
