- Prof. Eva Kaßens-Noor, Ph.D. (Institute for Transportation Planning and Traffic Engineering)
The introduction of driverless trucks in Germany and Europe requires an interdisciplinary view and the close interaction of key players and framework conditions. Truck operators have to accept the vehicles and be able to use them cost-effectively, while infrastructural and vehicle technology developments have to ensure the safe integration of autonomous vehicles into the traffic flow. At the same time, it requires a clear legal framework and specific political measures to reduce regulatory obstacles and create sustainable incentives for its implementation. A systematic and coordinated strategy is essential in order to utilise the economic, ecological and transport-related potential of autonomous trucks in an efficient manner.
This workshop aims to bring different stakeholders together and to develop a strategy together.


'Teamwork at TU Darmstadt'
Discussion on the topic of 'Teamwork at TU Darmstadt'
We would like to invite you to the FiF workshop discussion on 12 November 2025 on the topic of ‘Teamwork at TU Darmstadt’
Like many areas, research, science and teaching are determined by collaboration and cooperation in interdisciplinary and increasingly intercultural teams. Almost in contrast to this is the strong personalised assessment of performance in the academic world.
This observation gives rise to questions such as:
- What specific problems are there in your work contexts? You are welcome to let us know in advance.
- How could the strong focus on individuals in university organisations be broken up? What needs to change?
- Do our students acquire sufficient skills in the areas of intercultural and interdisciplinary teamwork? And what skills would these be?
- How do we ensure mental health in the team?
- Are relevant criteria sufficiently prioritised in the academic world, e.g. in the selection of professors or in the promotion of young academics?
- What services could help our university (infrastructure such as rooms, technology, teaching programmes, continuing education, research in the field)?
- Which tools work well? What can universities learn from business or other sectors?
We would like to discuss this topic in a workshop discussion with representatives from business and society and, of course, from our university, be inspired by short impulses and develop ideas in an open discussion and also derive concrete recommendations for action – either for our personal working environment or for TU Darmstadt.
