30 November – 1 December 2026 | Ghent and Brussels, Belgium
The STEER-NWE Academy is bringing together practitioners from across Europe for two days of knowledge exchange, practical discussions and site visits focused on electric carsharing. Taking place just before the POLIS Annual General Assembly and Conference, the International Exchange Event offers an opportunity to connect with peers, learn from real-life experiences and explore practical approaches to implementing shared electric mobility.
Registration is still open, and the deadline has been extended. Submit your expression of interest to join us in Belgium.
Learn from practitioners and real-life experiences
The International Exchange Event is designed for professionals working in or around shared mobility, including public authorities, mobility operators, researchers, knowledge institutions, NGOs and civil society organisations.
Across two days in Ghent and Brussels, participants will exchange experiences and explore practical challenges and solutions related to electric carsharing. The programme combines expert contributions, interactive discussions and site visits, offering opportunities to learn from the work of other cities, operators and European projects.
The event is intended as a practitioner-level exchange rather than an introductory session. Participants are expected to have a basic familiarity with shared mobility and an interest in sharing experiences and learning from others.
Explore four key themes
The programme covers four areas that are central to the development and implementation of electric carsharing:
Electrification of carsharing
Explore the business case for electric carsharing, charging strategies, vehicle-to-grid integration and the user experience, with contributions from practitioners working directly on these topics.
Data and digital tools
Discover how cities and other stakeholders use data, dashboards and digital tools to better understand carsharing and support policy and implementation decisions.
Inclusion and communication
Learn from practical experiences of making carsharing more inclusive, communicating with potential users and understanding the impacts of shared mobility initiatives.
E-carsharing in housing developments
Discuss how electric carsharing can be integrated into residential developments and explore approaches to making shared mobility part of wider neighbourhood planning.
The programme also includes a site visit to a vehicle-to-grid pilot in Ghent and an optional afternoon visit in Brussels focusing on e-carsharing and social housing.
Two days in Ghent and Brussels
The event will begin on 30 November at the Way To Go offices in Ghent, with sessions on electrification and data, followed by a site visit and an opportunity for informal networking.
On 1 December, the programme continues at The EGG in Brussels, with sessions on inclusion, communication and e-carsharing in housing developments, followed by an interactive exchange on lessons learned. An optional afternoon site visit will explore e-carsharing and social housing in Brussels.
Taking place immediately before the POLIS Annual General Assembly and Conference, the event is also an opportunity for participants travelling to Brussels for the conference to extend their stay and take part in a dedicated exchange on shared electric mobility.
