This new career assumes two forms, one for advanced studies for professionals and the other for the training of technically trained human resources in sustainable urban mobility.
The diploma seeks to recover the experiences of other locations in matters of mobility, and to be able to evaluate good practices that can be replicated at the local level, for the construction of fairer and healthier cities. The race assumes the commitment of zero emission.
It is aimed at those who, due to their work, professional or academic activity, have mobility and can be trained with tools that contribute to this sustainability approach and contribute to global challenges. The dictation will be carried out in a theoretical-practical format in the form of a workshop that allows experiences from other regions to be taken up and adapted to the reality and local problems. The races will be taught in person with some virtual theoretical instances.
