MOBI-TWIN Semester Meeting in Strasbourg and launch of the Final Project Phase

MOBI-TWIN Semester Meeting in Strasbourg launched the consortium’s work for Month 30 and set the direction for the project’s final phase. Partners met to take stock of what was delivered during the fifth semester (June–November 2025), to coordinate tasks now underway, and to agree on a precise action plan for the sixth semester (December 2025–May 2026). With MOBI-TWIN moving into its concluding stage, the meeting focused on ensuring that modelling, stakeholder engagement, and policy outputs stay tightly connected and on schedule.

Work Package sessions then addressed recent progress and immediate next steps.

A key highlight of the afternoon was the interactive expert session focused on the twin transition and its implications for regional inequality. Partners and third parties explored how MOBI-TWIN’s analytical work can best support regional decision-making, using scenario thinking and structured discussion to stress-test emerging findings. The session included live demonstrations of the Regional Attractiveness Index Dashboard and the Regional Typologies Dashboard, which helped frame dialogue around regional differentiation, vulnerability, and opportunity under changing mobility patterns.

This was followed by a presentation of preliminary insights from the MOBI-TWIN Spatial Microsimulation Model. Early results from the agent-based and EUROMOD-spatial modelling approaches were shared and discussed in depth, with attention to how mobility shifts interact with demographic change, welfare dynamics, and labour-market outcomes across different regional typologies. The exchange sharpened the analytical narrative for the final project phase and clarified priorities for validation, synthesis, and policy translation in the last Semester.
