Physical inactivity is a major social concern of late-modern lifestyles. In order to boost physical activity by increasing the share of healthy mobility (i.e. walking and cycling), joint actions across various domains are required.
This webinar brings together perspectives of sustainable mobility, health and physical activity promotion, community planning, consumer research, business model development and futures studies. We will feature a panel of internationally acknowledged experts and local practitioners to discuss the obstacles and actions to support healthy mobility.
Towards Healthy Mobility webinar is hosted by the STYLE (Healthy Lifestyles to Boost Sustainable Growth) research project and the Finnish Environment Institute SYKE. STYLE is funded by the Strategic Research Council at the Academy of Finland.

Dramatic changes in consumption patterns and dominant lifestyles are required to address the climate emergency successfully. We can no longer wait to act. Governments and businesses must provide infrastructure, products, and services that enable citizens to live more sustainably. These changes need to happen now because household carbon footprints must drop far below half within just one decade to keep global warming within 1.5 degrees.
Ecocity Forum Lahti 2021 is gathering makers, users, and promoters of digital tools, which can accelerate the transition to 1.5-degree cities and citizens.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Apps, digital tools and information systems to accelerate 1.5-degree cities and citizens
- The world’s first personal carbon trading program demonstrated
- Carefully curated regional and international speakers and panels
- Interactive and participatory sessions and workshops
- Green delegate package
- Virtual delegate package
- Field trips, networking, social events

Is micro-mobility helping or hurting our cities? In the past few years, micro-mobility services have been arriving at unprecedented speed and scale to cities that are oftentimes ill-prepared to manage them. In these early years of micro-mobility, the metrics used to describe the programs are limited to general statistics which can make it difficult to measure how well the program is meeting a city’s goals, and almost always impossible to compare one city to another.
Achieving Sustainable Micro-Mobility aims to identify strategic goals of a sustainable micro-mobility program that can be shared amongst all cities. It also identifies practical key performance indicators (KPI) that can be used to assess its strengths and weaknesses.
Ramboll organises a webinar where Pekka Stenman, Traffic Engineer at the City of Tampere will share Tampera’s experiences with micro-mobility and how they will proceed in the future. He will be joined by Ian Sacs Market Manager Smart Mobility and the main author of the report who will present the main findings and how cities can apply the 12 goal framework.

Quantum computing will revolutionize industries such as health care, finance, IT and sciences both materially and theoretically. It will provide unprecedented computing power for the data-driven economy. With more speed and less power, there will be wild new possibilities for all industries.
Superconducting technology and cooling systems for quantum computing pave the way for the sustainable development of quantum computing. Experts from the Aalto University, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and leading Finnish quantum technology companies, such as Bluefors and IQM, will share their insights during the webinar. The webinar is organised by Helsinki Business Hub.
Who is the webinar for?
Anyone who wants to learn how computational power of Quantum computing will revolutionise different sectors. Especially, If you are an expert in industries such as Artificial Intelligence, Life Sciences, Health care, Financial Services, Manufacturing, Logistics, Retail, IT, Telecoms or sciences.
TRA2020 conference in April 2020 has been cancelled. TRA, the Transport Research Arena, is the largest European research and technology conference on transport and mobility. In 2020, TRA was planned to take place in Helsinki, Finland.
