Have you ever thought about what is the power of your imagination? Whether societies can imagine a particular future and pursue the state institutions to fulfil it? 

Do social fears and desires affect technology development, or is technology only a matter of scientists working in their labs? 

What can be achieved if social scientists and technology designers work together? 

Check it during our workshop on the future transport in Kraków organised by Tadeusz Rudek and Aleksandra Wagner from the Institute of Sociology with the help of the strategic research program Anthropocene at Jagiellonian University, Professor Franco Ruzzenenti from the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Groningen. The special guest of our master class workshop will be Przemysław Zakrzeski - corporate director of ABB Technological Center in Kraków. 

We encourage both undergraduate and graduate students studying in the field of STEAM and SSH and are interested in the transition toward new transport systems.

During our workshop, you will learn how to map the most pressing problems of the Kraków transport system and propose a solution to address them.  Together we will discuss the results with our experts.
