I was happy to receive the hardcopy of our newest NECTAR book Transport in a Moving World: Emerging Trends and Policy Challenges, published in the NECTAR series of Edward Elgar Publishing.
This book comprises expert contributions taking multidisciplinary perspectives on transport in a moving world. It examines the joint transformations of mobility practices, urban planning, transport public policies and rapid technological development, within the context of an increasingly uncertain world.

Users want well-integrated shared mobility hubs, but they’re only willing to pay for what they can see - like seamless transport connections and placemaking elements. Digital integration is seen as essential, yet respondents expect governments and/or transport operators to fund it rather than paying for it themselves. Check more findings in our new publication, another output of the SmartHubs project! https://lnkd.in/ey964gCP

🥳 We are approaching the end of the year 🎊 🎉
🔎 It is time to look back at our achievements. Here are some of our 2024 highlights🕵♀️
🫂 5 new members joined our transport research group, now we are 21 people! Daniela Arias Molinares joined as a postdoc and Anika Laschewski, Dieuwert Blomjous, Elham Mortazavi Moghaddam, and Sogol Mortezapoor started their Ph.D. journey. With our 5 new members, we are approaching to achieve a fully gender-balanced group.
📚 We are leading 2 new large projects: the DUT-funded project Driving 15 Minute Neighbourhood Transformations (DREAMS) and the NWO-funded project Triple Access Planning for Healthcare (TRIAS).
🧑🎓 2 of our PhD students successfully defended their PhD thesis. Teun Uijtdewilligen defended his thesis Road Safety of Cyclists in Dutch Cities. Georgios Kapousizis received a cum laude distinction for his thesis Smart Connected Bicycles: User Acceptance and Experience, Willingness to Pay and Road Safety Implications.
📄 25 journal papers published in leading international journals, plus a co-organised special JUM issue on Accessibility by Proximity. Several group members presented their work at major international transport conferences (including TRB, hEART, IATBR, and NECTAR).
🎓 10 MSc students graduated from our Transport Engineering and Management Master Track and 14 BSc Civil Engineering students completed their thesis with us. Our MSc student Stella van Lent won the KIVI Cuperus price, the national price for the best MSc thesis in the transport domain.
🎥 The Dutch national science programme Focus came over for a full day last week for interviews about our Smart Connected Bikes project. The programme will appear on national TV, YouTube and other social media channels early next year.
🎉 We wish you a Merry Christmas🎄and a Happy New Year! 🎆
