Europe’s transition to climate-neutral transport will require more than new technologies. It will require the people capable of applying those technologies to redesign how mobility systems operate.
Transport networks connect cities, power economic activity, and shape how people and goods move across the continent. Yet they also remain one of Europe’s largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving the EU’s Net Zero targets by 2050 therefore demands a fundamental transformation of how transport systems are designed, developed, and managed.
GreenShift aims to support that transformation.
GreenShift is developing a pioneering, market-led Joint European Master’s programme focused on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High-Performance Computing (HPC) to accelerate innovation in the European transport sector.
These advanced technologies allow researchers and innovators to analyse complex mobility systems, simulate transport networks, and test new solutions before they are deployed in real-world environments. By harnessing AI and HPC, GreenShift seeks to transform how research, development, and product innovation happen across the mobility ecosystem.
Through this approach, the programme aims to accelerate the decarbonisation of transport networks and cities while enabling the development of more efficient and intelligent mobility solutions.
The European transport sector faces an urgent need for new capabilities to meet ambitious sustainability and emissions reduction targets.
GreenShift’s mission is to equip thousands of R&D and product design professionals with the skills needed to harness advanced computing technologies and fast-track the development of innovative transport solutions.
By strengthening digital expertise across the sector, the programme will help companies:
A particular focus of the programme is supporting European startups and SMEs developing mobility solutions, helping them build the digital capabilities needed to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving transport landscape.
At the centre of GreenShift is a 60-ECTS Joint European Master’s programme, delivered as either a 9-month full-time or 12-month part-time qualification.
Alongside the Master’s programme, GreenShift will offer flexible learning pathways including micro-credentials, modular courses, and professional training programmes. These opportunities are designed to support both graduates and experienced professionals seeking to upskill in emerging digital mobility technologies.
Participants will also engage in hands-on innovation activities such as Boostcamps, hackathons, and innovation challenges, allowing them to apply AI and HPC to real-world transport problems.
GreenShift also aims to create a strong collaboration environment where universities, research institutions, industry partners, startups, and public authorities work together to develop and deploy technologies critical to the transport sector’s green transition.
By connecting education, digital innovation, and industry collaboration, the programme will help produce job-ready graduates and skilled innovation professionals capable of designing and implementing sustainable mobility solutions.
Ultimately, GreenShift’s ambition is clear: to help Europe build the expertise needed to turn digital intelligence into practical climate action in the transport sector.
