The COLLEGE FOR COLLABORATIVE MOBILITY - COComo 2017

Prior to the 5th World Collaborative Mobility Congress, the Swiss Mobility Academy will host the 4th College for Collaborative Mobility „cocomo“ in Bern, Switzerland. The cocomo seeks to support future mobility-experts in refining their visions and ideas with regards to collaborative mobility-services and -products, as well as to offer valuable networking-opportunities with key decision-makers from the Swiss transport sector.

Under the guidance of experts from science, policy and business, students are invited to provide their ideas regarding a specific topic of collaborative mobility. In the scope of this year’s cocomo (and 4 weeks of group post processing) the students are challenged to develop collaborative mobility concepts focussing on Co-Mobility meets the circular economy.

The most convincing students then have the possibility to present their ideas to a larger professional audience during the subsequent 5th World Collaborative Mobility Congress „wocomoco“.
