DIAMOND

Self-diagnosis tool and protocols for obtaining knowledge, recommendations and support on how to achieve a fair gender inclusion in current and future transport systems.

The data will enable the identification and design of specific measures to fulfil women’s needs and expectations from the perspective of women as transport users and professionals in the sector.

In that field, the project will investigate the presence of women in transport and the new job opportunities offered.

The project, apart from the Eurecat technology centre, also counts with the participation of 13 partners from S pain, France, The United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Serbia and Poland. The project consortium comprises universities  and research centres as (University of Stirling, the Edinburgh  Napier University, the  Technological University of Dublin (TUDublin),the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering of the University of Belgrade and the IBV- Instituto de Biomecánica de Valencia); transport operators like Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya, Warsaw Public Transport Authority  and Autolib’ Vélib’; associations such as Genre & Ville and WAVE and private companies and consultancies like  AITEC, Systematica and RINA.
