train2republica

Only a few days to go until the first departure of the #train2republica.

On May 1, 2018 at 9.55am the #train2republica will depart from Munich central station and and arrive in Berlin at 2:23 pm - punctually for pre:publica.

There are a few seats available. If you want to be part of the journey you can register at train2republica.com until April 27, 2018. Passengers are obliged to have a valid train ticket. Passengers on board the ICE will include undisputed experts who will be up for discussion on the latest mobility issues in a unique atmosphere.

We’re looking forward to Professor Wolfgang Gruel (HDM Stuttgart), who will speak on the subject of “The price of travel: how much should a kilometer of autonomous driving cost?”. Young entrepreneurs Philipp Renz and Marina Knauer from CCUnirent present their hypothesis “Algorithms instead of bus stops. Ride-sharing is the premium opportunity for new mobility.” Michael Barillère-Scholz, Managing Director of ioki, explains how on-demand services and autonomous driving can be integrated into public transport. Other passenger will be Bruno Ginnuth, CEO of CleverShuttle.

On May 2 we will share the outcome of the sessions on the train2republica with all visitors to the republica and continue the discussion. Along with the speakers from the ICE session, Prof. Sabina Jeschke will also be present at the meetup. Sabina is a physicist, mathematician and computer scientist and joined Deutsche Bahn in November 2017 as the Member of the Management Board for Digitalization and Technology. Prior to joining DB, she was active in research for many years. Her last position was as a professor at RWTH Aachen University.

The meetup will be held on May 2 from 1:30 to 2:30 pm in the room "re:ception."
