Das transdisziplinäre Projektseminar im WS 2024-5 widmet sich dem Thema „Autobesitz und -nutzung in der Kreislaufgesellschaft: Carsharing“. Dabei stehen drei Fragen im Vordergrund:
1. Wie können aktive Carsharing-Nutzer*innen langfristig zur weiteren Nutzung motiviert werden?
2. Wie können ehemalige Carsharing-Nutzer*innen zurückgewonnen werden?
3. Wie können Noch-Nicht-Nutzer*innen für Carsharing begeistert werden?
Ziel ist es, gemeinsam mit Partnern aus Wissenschaft, Politik und Praxis praxisnahe Lösungen und Handlungsstrategien zu entwickeln, um mehr Menschen in München (und anderswo) für Carsharing zu begeistern und damit einen Beitrag zu einer zirkulären und zukunftsorientierten Mobilität zu leisten.
