Most of the visitors (and employees) of venues want advice in advance about their trip to this venue. The Mobility Portal offers visitors the best travel advice at that moment (real time), which they can immediately book online. For example available parking space, a train or bus ticket, a hotel room or a taxi. Visitors are also better informed and prepared for their journey, which can help to prevent traffic jams.
A better experience for travelers to venues, without traffic jams or problems how to get there. Mobility Portal give advice about the best route to travel, along traffic jams and to the best reachable parking locations. Cities will benefit from Mobility Portal, because they have a tool to advice and guide travelers online and in advance of their journey. The Mobility Portal is for events at the ArenA area already up and running. We would also like other areas and venues to benefit from it.
The project is initiated by BeSite and the Amsterdam ArenA, in cooperation with the city of Amsterdam. Also several service providers and other venues at the ArenA area are also connected.
We want to connect more venues, more service providers and more (open) data connectors with relevant mobility data for travelers.
Most guidance programs give travelers advice during their trip, or when travelers arrive at the venue. We discovered that travelers are willing to follow advice in advance, but only if the advice is real time and extended. This is a big opportunity for the future. Now we can manage visitors in advance and online, instead of only at the place of arrival.

Discover the Amsterdam Forever Young program on the Eye Film Player, a diverse programme that explores the dynamic, ever-evolving spirit of Amsterdam. This collection of films highlights how the city’s unique identity has been shaped by its past, present, and future. Hence, we place a special focus on the intersection of urban development and planning, offering a look at how the city’s architectural and cultural transformations have intertwined in, both, historical films, as well as more contemporary filmic undertakings. Thus, our collection of films, such as Where the Rats are King, A Photographer Films Amsterdam and Amsterdam Global Village, shed light on the living conditions in Amsterdam, the urban communities witihin Amsterdam and, even, films as Jenny and Amsterdam on Film that shed light on how the canals have shaped Amsterdam more than aesthetically e.g., with its focus on ecology and care for our climate. Through, both, monetized and free to watch films, we aim to share the rich history of our city, whilst aiming for a dynamic space for creativity, inclusivity, and sustainability in the future, too that we hope this knowledge and collection will inspire.
All in all, Amsterdam Forever Young invites you to reflect on the city's evolution and its commitment to being a centre of modernity, without losing the essence of its heritage. Available on the Eye Film Player, to watch from your bedroom, this "digital" exhibition celebrates Amsterdam as the city of urban transformation that, at the same time, stay true to its historical roots.
Namla and Univerzita Pardubice Anthropology Department are hosting a one time mini conference next week on the results of our project in Erasmus Plus called AnthroAction: increasing employability and societal impact of action researchers. (https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/projects/search/details/2023-2-NL01-KA210-ADU-000180400)
We have been running the project since March 2024 and just wrapped up our pilot course for graduates of anthropology in Czech Republic and Netherlands; where the graduates learned to combine rapid ethnography and design thinking to tackle a real-world problem, suggested by real NGOs.
The NGOs that contributed to the project were:
-Czech Blind United (https://www.sons.cz/) with the question: how can we attract more younger members to our organisation?
-Junak - Czech Scouts (https://www.skaut.cz/) with the question: what do today’s teenagers want in leadership training?
-De Meevaart Community Centre (https://meevaart.nl/) with the question: how can we start a blue zone in Indische Buurt in Amsterdam?
-The Really Healthy School (https://www.skutecnezdravaskola.cz/) with the question: how can we reach more primary schools with our programme?
The participants in the course were coming from all over Czech Republic, and Amsterdam.
In the conference, we will discuss what happened in the course, how it went, what we can learn from the pilot. Also a number of professors in Anthropology from different parts of Europe (such as Laurens Bakker, Ana-Isabel Afonso), applied anthropologists from Czech Republic (such as Karolina Kania, PhD, Socionaut, z.s.), as well as organisations in our network will share reflections on how what we did here fits into a wider context.

Hi there!
We are a group of students from Lund University (Sweden), studying our Master in Information Systems. In one of our courses, we are doing a research about sustainable/smart cities in Europe and after reading about Amsterdam, the choice of city became easy!
By looking at this project, we see that you would fit very well in an interview about the smart city initiatives in Amsterdam from an entreprenoural point of view. We would be very grateful if you took your time to help us out answering our questions, which will take around 45 min - 1 hour.
If you would like a copy of our report when it is finished, we’ll gladly share it with you!
Please contact me as soon as possible and I will explain more: fredriksson.otto@gmail.com
Best Regards,
Cheng Ruijing
