Welcome to the MIND-sets newsletter, your bi-annual look inside the minds, motives and preferences of transport users in Europe. The newsletter will feature the latest insights on user behaviour and innovative research from the MIND-sets project. Because it is an interactive, iterative project, your input and involvement is essential.
We hope you will share your thoughts and ideas as well as related calls for papers, events and conferences, both here and on our social media channels. Future newsletters will include research from other, similar projects as well as relevant information you have asked us to publish.
We look forward to hearing from you!

This project, funded by the European Commission Horizon 2020 Programme, will look at mobility from a variety of disciplines, such as economics, sociology, behavioural psychology and urban planning.
Social networks and applications are where the physical and virtual worlds collide, enabling the rapid rise of new versions of existing forms of mobility. For example, online ridesharing services such as BlaBlaCar, carsharing services such as Enjoy and Car2Go and alternative taxi services such as Uber and Lyft are revolutionising the way we travel. With smartphones and new apps we are no longer limited to trains, buses, official taxis and rides with people we know.
The first survey is a questionnaire aimed at transport professionals, to understand how those who make strategic mobility decisions use decision support tools and how these can be improved. It takes no more than 10-15 minutes to fill out, and the information gathered will only be used for the project.
