The research study focuses on marketing strategies used to stimulate and help improve cycling in cities. The session will be fun and engaging and investigate the effectiveness of strategies. The 8-10 participants chosen will be shown a series of material in an open discussion format and encouraged to reflect on their experiences, perceptions and opinions regarding cycling.

Who
The ideal participant describes themselves as occasional bicyclists; you may cycle semi-regularly and are interested in bicycling more often, or not at all but would like to get on the bicycle if barriers were removed. The study encourages people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities living within the City of Amsterdam to participate. So Amsterdammers, new immigrants, expats and students are all welcome!

HULP GEVRAAGD!
Wij zijn op dit moment druk bezig met het vinden van oplossingen om onze leefomgeving veiliger, groener, bereikbaarder en gezonder te maken. Hierbij hebben we jouw hulp hard nodig. Beantwoord jij onze vragen: http://bit.ly/Flow-enquete #gowithflow #smart #mobility #sharingiscaring #delenmag

There is a huge opportunity to build differently in new urban development projects. We can take a different approach on how we organise mobility and make a link between the mobility- and the energy transition in order to move faster. Living Mobility is a conference bringing together real estate, mobility and energy in order to define a roadmap together. How can we integrate mobility in building projects? What cases do we know and what can we learn from them? What is the role of parking requirements in building and how is this changing globally? Which role does the car play in energy grids? How do policy makers, project developers, mobility providers work together?

Aim is to organise this conference in september 2018, in Amsterdam (or Utrecht). We are looking for more sponsors who can help to realise the event and who have a relevant link with the topic in order to also contribute to a solid program. Are you a into designing or building, energy or mobility? Jump on board! http://www.living-mobility.com

In 2018, the Board will strive for realizing the initiative ‘Green Deal Zero Emission Stadslogistiek (ZES) in the Amsterdam metropolitan area. Governments, companies and knowledge institutions are therefore working together in order to make goods transportation emission free by 2025.
Do you have an interesting initiative, or are you – along with other parties – part of a project that focuses on cleaner and more sustainable goods transportation? Share this with us before the end of March. For, towards the end of April we will start an ‘online display’. In it, all currently active projects/initiatives around sustainable city-logistics within the metropolitan area are going to be presented. This will offer a clear overview of all the initiatives already running, furthermore, it might inspire others to get started on zero-emission urban transport.
We are therefore calling everyone to enrol, regardless of whether you’re a big or small initiative. There are already countless transporters in the Amsterdam metropolitan area that contribute to this much needed improvement/change. The first step is to make them visible for other interested parties, in order for the latter to be able to find and join initiatives and/or to share their knowledge and expertise. The next step is to scale up successful local initiatives, from being regional to becoming nationwide and even worldwide projects.
Is your organization/business/company committed to clean and smart urban logistics, and do you believe others can learn from your experience(s)? Then sign your-self/company up! We’re not only looking for companies with, for instance, a sustainable and smart way of transportation, but also for interesting/innovative collaborations that contribute to clean and green city transportation.
You can sign up by sending an e-mail to r.kok@amecboard.com

For my graduation assignment at PostNL I do research into the wishes and needs of the consumer in the field of SmartHome and then mainly focused on the installation of this. It is important for me to know what your wishes and needs are! The survey takes up to 6 minutes. (Please note that the survey is now only available in Dutch. If you are only English-speaking and would like to participate in the study, I am of course willing to translate the survey into English. )

Click on the link to go to the survey: https://hva.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_08swaKTe6orvMvH.

Several bike shops say it can't be done. I'm am sure it can be!
In my quest to become a circle business, I am building the first zero emission cargo bike for the natural media industry using a vintage Dutch cargo bike as my basis.
Natural Media Experts is an eco friendly urban communications company that produces outdoor campaigns for Gemeente Amsterdam and other gemeenten in the Netherlands. It is a restart of one of the first natural media companies in the world - GreenGraffiti.
How can I modify a vintage Dutch cargo bike into an electrically assisted cargo bike? How can I add a renewable energy battery pack power system to run various tools? (power washer, paint spray system, electric brushes)
A zero emission production unit would further reduce the impact of outdoor communication on our environment. It will extend the range where I can offer services, reduce costs to gemeenten by working faster and give my business a competitive advantage.
I am looking for someone with the knowledge I lack. As an advertising professional my engineering skills are limited and electricity scares me to death.
There are many vintage cargo bikes in the Netherlands that few are willing to use due to their heavy weight. However, they are perfectly suited to all tasks more modern cargo bikes are being used for. Repurposing old "unused" resources fits very well with my business and given the very high costs of modern e-cargo bikes could be a business opportunity as well.

Do you have to travel everyday in a different city for work or school?

Dear community,

I am researching people's needs and expectations regarding current and future transportation in the Netherlands for my graduation (innovation) thesis. With the insights collected from this questionnaire I am going to try and come up with a sustainable e-mobility ecosystem, which has the goal to reduce CO2 emissions by 30% until 2030 and deliver real added value to citizens.

Time is precious (even 5 minutes!), so there is a 50 euro lottery at the end of the research (1 Feb 2018) for 5 of the participants, to reward your effort.

Also, if you are an expert in mobility/smart cities, or you know someone in the field, I'd be very grateful to have a discussion on this topic. Thank you.

I am Zulfikar a master student of Urban Environmental Management in Wageningen University and Research.
Currently, I am conducting a thesis research with the title "The Interaction between Non-Government-based Smart City Projects and Government-based Environmental Management: The Case of Amsterdam". ​Basically, the research aims to investigate three elements, namely the smart city projects initiated by non-governmental parties, environmental management conducted by governmental parties, and their interaction with each other.​

Regarding that, I would like to talk to people who have knowledge about their smart city project and environmental aspects in Amsterdam. I need at least 2 persons from Amsterdam Smart City Platform, knowledge institutions, and/or companies.

The result of this research will benefit the Amsterdam Smart City platform and Amsterdam Municipality to understand about the linkage between smart city projects and environmental management of Amsterdam.

If you are the one, please let me know by contacting me via email zulfikar.dinar@gmail.com
Thank you for your help and attention.

The 5 most luxurious hotels of Amsterdam house guests that are sometimes interested in private tours by car through the city. Driving around, in a luxurious car interior while looking at the sites.

Normally the hotels hire limousine services for this. The downside of these car-rides are that the guides aren't really involved in the historical, cultural and social fabric of the city ànd the car itself is never electric, making this more polluting than it should be.

Amsterdam Odyssey stands for a different kind of tourism: sustainable, local and meaningful. Therefor we never do these kind of car-ride excursions.

But, what if.... we could partner up with a company that promotes the use of electric cars, offering high-end chauffeured electric cars for us to use as a means of transport? We work together with Taxi Electric off course, but we are hoping to get in touch with other companies as well, maybe to help them in a start-up phase or to promote a new business model. To get in touch, please send an email to tours@amsterdamodyssey.com

We have been nominated for the RAAK-Award. This is a price for practical oriented research at universities of applied sciences (HBO). LEVV-LOGIC explores the use of light electric freight vehicles for city logistics. Besides a jury judgement, there is also a public price. You can vote at: http://bit.do/stemlevvlogic
Thank you for the support!

I work for the electric car company Sono Motors from Germany. We produced an electric solar car - the Sion - that is designed to meet the needs of people living in big cities like Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin or Paris. It is equipped with 330 solar cells to generate energy for increased mobility and has a complete range of up to 280 km per day.

The reason I am reaching out to you is because we are on a tour across Europe to promote the benefits of electric vehicles.

The city of Amsterdam is the biggest supporter of EV in Europe, that is why my colleagues and the Sion are stopping by on the 1st of October 2017 to offer test drives with our prototype.

You can see what this looks like, if you take a short look at a video of our stop in Munich:

VIDEO: http://bit.ly/2fNsyvo

We are looking for people to attend our visit in Amsterdam! So if you ever wondered what it feels like to drive a EV, than you should come visit us! You can take the Sion for a test drive for about 5-10 minutes and talk to our engineers and managers on the site. We offer you to experience the unique features of the Sion, which make it the perfect car for a future without fossil fuels. Here is where you can find us:

Taets Art and Event Park
Hemkade 18
1506 Zaandam

We start our tests on Sunday at 10am and will be there till 7pm. The last day of our stop is the 4th of October.

Met de beste groeten,

Julius Zimmer
