Project description

Developing gender- and diversity-sensitive Smart mobilities

A wide range of factors, like unequal access to resources and education, make women more vulnerable than men in the transport sector. The EU-funded TInnGO project will develop gender- and diversity sensitive Smart mobilities and solutions for sustainable European transport. The project will create a route for gender-sensitive Smart mobility in European transport by applying intersectional analysis, with gender aligned to sociocultural dimensions, to diverse transport data, assessment tools, modelling of new mobility policies, planning and services. TInnGO will demonstrate how inequalities are created and address gendered practices of education, employment, technological innovations and entrepreneurship as domains for change and inclusion of gendered innovations. The project will involve 10 hubs from 13 EU Member States.

Objective

Women face higher risks and burdens than men in transport, due to unequal access to resources, education, job opportunities and entrenched socio-cultural norms. The TInnGO project will develop a framework and mechanisms for a sustainable game change in European transport using the transformative strategy of gender and diversity sensitive smart mobility. It will address gender related contemporary challenges in the transport ecosystem and women’s mobility needs, creating a route for Gender Sensitive Smart Mobility in European Transport, which considers diversity of different groups. Intersectional analysis, with gender aligned to socio cultural dimensions, will be applied to different types of transport data, assessment tools, modelling of new mobility policies, planning and services to show prevalence of transport poverty in traditionally hard to reach groups. TInnGO will show how inequalities are created and address gendered practices of education, employment, technological innovations and entrepreneurship as arenas for change and inclusion of gendered innovations. A Pan European observatory for gender smart transport innovation (TInnGO) will provide a nexus for data collection, analysis, dissemination of gender mainstreaming tools and open innovation. TInnGO's emphasis on diverse and specific transport needs is shown in its unique comparative approach enabling contributions from, and influence of 13-member states in 10 hubs. These will employ qualitative, quantitative and design research methods, combining hands-on knowledge, concrete actions and best practices to develop gender and diversity sensitive smart mobilities and solutions through associated ideas factories (TInnGIdLabs). No former EU funded project has applied an intersectional gender approach to smartening transport. TInnGO will therefore lead research into a new era and use the knowledge to achieve impacts on Social, Economic, Environmental and European ambitions of growth, wealth and innovation.
