General description

Aren't you fed up with breathing gas exhaust when you ride your bike to pick up a baguette at the bakery ? Don't you think that transportation should be turned into something less stressful and greener?

Let's learn and debate how today's engineers are bridging the gap between effective and sustainable transportation means, how people can change their mind to take advantage of the new transportation possibilities such as TGV, electric car or self-service bicycles.

If you like to move it, move it head straight to Lille, the most welcoming French city. Come and discover its culture and its parties with people from the whole Europe sharing the same BEST spirit!

Now speed up! We are waiting for you to apply!
