Two Days, Three Events: MoDeCa and Thales TP 2 engage in Exchange at Bochum University of Applied Sciences
Over the course of two days, the research projects Mobility Decarbonization Campus (MoDeCa) (Funding provider: Federal Ministry of Transport) and THALESruhr – Transfer Project 2 (TP 2) (Funding provider: Federal Ministry of Education and Research) were featured at three events at Bochum University of Applied Sciences. The focus was on presenting the projects, discussing sustainable campus mobility, and actively engaging university members.

Sustainability Day: Project Presentations and Discussion
On October 13, the MoDeCa and Thales projects were represented at Bochum University of Applied Sciences’ Sustainability Day. At the information booth, visitors could learn about the projects’ goals and components.
Sustainability Day provided a great opportunity to present the projects to a wider audience, answer questions, and engage in conversation with university members and other interested parties about the future of campus mobility.
MoDeCa Workshop: Collaboratively Designing Mobility Solutions
Following Sustainability Day, the MoDeCa workshop took place in the afternoon. The goal was to better understand the requirements and needs of future users of the planned mobility solution.
Participants focused on three key topics:
- Suitable vehicle types for everyday university life
- Requirements for the charging infrastructure
Measures to increase acceptance and use of the service
The results of the workshop will be incorporated into the further planning and development of the mobility service. The MoDeCa team would like to thank all participants for their interest and constructive contributions.
Exchange as a Key Component of Project Development
The three events offered various opportunities to present the MoDeCa and Thales projects, connect with interested parties, and gain new perspectives on sustainable mobility at Bochum University of Applied Sciences.
The workshop, in particular, highlighted how important it is to involve future users in the development of mobility solutions tailored to their needs.
