Marvin Baumann at the TRB 2025

Our post on LinkedIn about the TRB Meeting in Washington looks a bit different this year: Instead of being represented by 10 to 15 people as in previous years, only Marvin Baumann will represent us at this outstanding conference in 2025.

The reason for this decision is that we cannot credibly research sustainable mobility and explain to our students that long-distance travel – especially by airplane – is particularly harmful to the climate while flying across the Atlantic with half of our institute at the same time. Therefore, we are consciously reducing our participation in conferences outside Europe – even though this comes with a considerable dose of fear of missing out, and we will especially miss meeting all our international fellow researchers at our Wednesday evening reception.
