JustMOBI

Digitalising Education for an Inclusive Mobility Transition


JustMOBI is a European Erasmus+ project that rethinks how higher education prepares future leaders for the mobility transition. By combining digitalisation, gender-inclusive design, sustainability, and micromobility, the project co-creates an innovative curriculum model that responds to the urgent need for more equitable and climate-responsible mobility systems. Through cross-sector collaboration, hands-on activities, and open educational resources, JustMOBI empowers educators and students to shape a mobility future that is fair, accessible, and digitally ready


The Challenge

Mobility systems worldwide are undergoing rapid transformation driven by digital technologies, climate pressures, and shifting societal needs. Yet higher education often struggles to keep up—curricula remain fragmented, gender-biased data shapes planning, and students lack the interdisciplinary skills needed for emerging mobility challenges. At the same time, STEM and mobility fields face persistent gender gaps, while ecological and inclusivity goals remain under-addressed. JustMOBI tackles these gaps by redesigning mobility education to be more digital, inclusive, gender-sensitive, and environmentally aware.

Our Solution

JustMOBI brings together universities, researchers, and mobility experts to co-create a replicable curriculum framework built around four themes: digitalisation, inclusivity (including gender), sustainability, and urban micromobility. Through faculty workshops, field-based seminars, student hackathons, industry collaboration, and open-access learning materials, the project builds capacity across European higher education. The outcome is a future-proof model that integrates AI-driven analysis, inclusive and gender-sensitive design, mobility innovation, and sustainable thinking into everyday teaching practice.

Type of Project

JustMOBI is an Erasmus+ Higher Education Cooperation Partnership (KA220-HED) focused on experiential, multi-stakeholder learning. It blends design research, mobility innovation, digital skills, gender studies, and urban sustainability. Activities include curriculum co-creation, community-based seminars, industry collaboration, and Public Open Educational Resources—positioning it at the intersection of education reform and mobility transformation.

Project Outputs

JustMOBI will deliver:
. A Needs Assessment Report on digital, inclusive, and ecological gaps in mobility curricula.
. A new co-created curriculum framework integrating AI, inclusivity, gender, sustainability, and micromobility.
. A suite of Open Educational Resources (OERs) including modules, guidelines, and tools for educators.
. A Knowledge Transfer Platform for long-term access and replication.
. A programme of industry–academia activities, including webinars, mentorship sessions, and a hybrid hackathon.. A final International Symposium in Barcelona, to share results with academics, practitioners, and policymakers.

The Project

JustMOBI aims to trigger transformative change in how mobility is taught in higher education. By embedding digital skills, inclusivity, gender sensitivity, and sustainability into core learning pathways, the project prepares students to address real-world mobility challenges—ranging from data-driven planning to inclusive micromobility solutions. Working across Poland, Spain, Ireland, and Germany, the consortium builds a collaborative European model for a just mobility transition.

Our Contribution

At IAAC–Fab Lab Barcelona, we define and implement the project’s educational and dissemination strategy. We:

  • Dissemination, Communication & Exploitation, creating the project website, social media presence, and Open Educational Resources hub.
  • Host the International Symposium in Barcelona to expand outreach and knowledge exchange.
  • Direct the Ethics, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Committee, ensuring gender-sensitive and inclusive practices.
  • Implement the Local Seminar and piloting curriculum modules with 20+ students.

Through our expertise in design futures, advanced urbanism, and STEAM education, we help build a scalable model for equitable, digital mobility learning.


Who is it for?

JustMOBI targets higher education institutions, educators, students, and mobility practitioners, as well as civil society organisations working on inclusivity, gender equity, digital transformation, and sustainable mobility. The project also supports policymakers and public institutions seeking new approaches to mobility education and innovation.

JustMOBI is designed for:

  • Higher education institutions seeking to modernise mobility-related curricula.
  • Educators and researchers working in design, mobility, gender studies, digitalisation, and sustainability.
  • Students preparing for careers in urban mobility, digital transformation, or social innovation.
  • Cities, mobility companies, and public stakeholders seeking more inclusive, data-driven mobility strategies.
  • Civil society groups advocating for gender equity, ecological transition, and accessible mobility systems.
