The purpose of the Open Source Mobility Lab is to build up a platform to enable interdisciplinary research and a broad dialogue on sustainable mobility by involving various relevant stakeholder groups. Our work is therefore based on a broadened understanding of mobility. For us, it is about improving the quality and possibility to gain access to certain types of communication, information, and activity. Therefore we include topics like governance, city planning or social justice to tackle mobility from all its related angles.
Within our interdisciplinary team, our work is based on design research methods and an open source working approach. Open Source is our catalyst in navigating the transformation to a more accessible and sustainable society.
