Public transport is indispensable for the transport transition. However, the coronavirus pandemic has caused buses and trains to lose a significant number of passengers. In order to achieve the climate targets, passenger numbers - and not incidence figures - should be rising steeply. In order to fulfill its mission as part of public services and an important component of the transformation of the transport sector towards sustainable mobility for all, public transport must become pandemic-resistant. This includes ensuring that everyone can use public transport with a good feeling. We present the current status of our research project.(https://www.uni-kassel.de/go/emilia)
A brown bag, filled with a tasty sandwich and a sweet from the Studierendenwerk, is available in the Pavilion Café (students €3, employees and guests €3.30)
The format of the Brown Bag Lecture is informal and casual: in collaboration with the university's departments and the Studierendenwerk, young researchers present their research topic in entertaining short talks - while the audience relaxes and eats their American sandwich from the brown paper bag. The entire breadth of research is represented and the speakers strengthen their skills in science communication.
The event takes place as a Zoom meeting:
