09:15 – 10:05 The Gender Smart Mobility Roadmap
The opening session will introduce the key concepts in TInnGO, such as gender smart mobility, gender and diversity mainstreaming, digital methods and gender and diversity action plans. We will present the TInnGO roadmap and methods and discuss how this can progress current debates and create a paradigm shift towards greater inclusivity in the transport sector and in transport policy. Additionally, the use of design as a communication aid to draw out requirements and shape transport will be presented.

Tanu Priya Uteng, Senior Research, Institute of Transport Economics, Norway
10:20 – 11:00 Creating a paradigm shift in employment in the Transport Business Ecosystem
Despite concrete evidence affirming the benefits of gender and diversity in all industries in terms of increased satisfaction, creativity, innovation and sales, there is still a gender and diversity gap across the whole of the transport system (i.e. from education, through to operationalisation, sales and manufacture). Indeed, the automotive industry is viewed as one of the most hostile environments to women. In this session we will discuss the findings from our research, point to best practices and strategies to removing barriers including preparedness to increase diversity in employment.
Panelists:
Livia Spera, Acting General Secretary European Transport Workers’ Federation

11:00 – 11:45 Creating a paradigm shift in the educational sector and research and innovation
A gradual change is occurring in the diversity of students taking STEM subjects. This session will discuss which strategies /policies and interventions have been most successful in increasing diversity, and where more could be done, and whether this is having any effects in the wider system. Attention will also be drawn to the lack of diversity within teaching, research and senior management in education and the effects this might have.

12:20 – 13:45 Intersectional approaches to understanding Mobility
Intersectionality is a key concept in advancing understanding of mobility and the subtle influences lack of accessibility to transport provision may have on life outcomes, as well as everyday life. The differential outcomes of COVID has provided a chilling reminder of the effects of intersectionality on disease transmission and severity. Similarly, personal factors such as age, gender and ethnicity can affect mobility. This session will discuss the challenges of using an intersectional approach in transport research and pose possible solutions for researchers and policy makers wishing to adopt intersectionality.

13:45 – 14:20 Stakeholders’ Reflections on Gender and Diversity Sensitive Smart Mobility
Is the world prepared for smart mobility solutions, and how is it ensuring that future transport provision will be accessible and inclusive? This session will take the form of a structured discussion with stakeholders discussing how they are addressing this.
Panelists:

14:20 – 15:10 The way ahead
TInnGO project findings should be translated into more robust and long-lasting EU statistics and follow up projects. What are the possibilities and challenges in terms of Eurostat and central EU institutions? What are the needs of various EU NGOs such as age, lgbt, ethnic minorities? What can be offered by EU institutions such as the EIGE and EUROSTAT? How can (person) transport/ mobility and diversity be galvanized in future EU treaties. What have we learnt from COVID?
