Become a Doctor of Cargo Bike Urbanism at this Oslo University

Embarking on a three-year adventure, the “Car-goNE-City” project is focused on figuring out how shared cargo bikes can make cities more sustainable and turn them into 15-minute havens. Those joining the TransFrUrban research group find themselves at the heart of investigating the dynamic connections between transportation, infrastructure, and urban development. It’s not just a project; it’s a journey that’s changing the way cities look and function.

Hang onto their handlebars as the journey extends beyond Oslo’s borders. The collaboration spans cities like Gothenburg, Mölndal, and Trollhättan in Sweden, Oslo in Norway, Karlsruhe and Konstanz in Germany, and Budapest in Hungary. It’s not just an academic venture; it’s an international odyssey mapping transition pathways for cities of all sizes. The overarching goal is to lessen car-dependence and offer crucial policy recommendations for the effective integration of shared cargo bike mobility.

The urban mobility future is calling for a makeover, and the cargo bike is revved up and good to go. Take the lead in Cargo Bike Urbanism—apply for the unique PhD Fellowship position by Jan. 31. Join a groundbreaking project reshaping how we navigate and imagine our cities. The cargo bike is ready for action, offering you a chance to make a lasting impact on the cities of tomorrow.
