**EXTENDED** CfP: “the future of accessibility – integrating digital connectivity with physical proximity” CL6 and CL8 workshop
The Department of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Environment (DECivil) of Insituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon, through the research centre CERIS is organizing a joint workshop with Cluster 8 (Information and Communication Technologies) and Cluster 6 (Accessibility) of NECTAR (Network of European Communications and Transportation Academic Researchers).
The meeting will take place in Lisbon, Portugal (18-19-June 2025). This meeting will bring together researchers from different disciplines and countries in a friendly environment to debate recent developments in the study of digital connectivity as one of the three pillars of accessibility (along with (physical) proximity and mobility).
Therefore, topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
• Telework’s impact on travel behaviour
• Telework’s impact on residential and firm location
• E-commerce, last mile delivery and retail accessibility
• The role of socioeconomic and built environment variables in ICT adoption; spatial heterogeneity and social imbalances
• Accessibility indicators integrating digital (e.g. telework, e-shopping, telemedicine, banking services, e-government) and physical accessibility
• New mobility services, shared mobility hubs, and their inclusion on accessibility indicators
• Network connectivity and accessibility
• Modelling digital and physical accessibility
• Impacts of digital accessibility in land use/transport planning and its integration into planning policy
• Avoidance of physical mobility due to digital solutions and integration with physical proximity in the 15-minute city.
We seek an open discussion about each presentation. Young starting researchers are encouraged to deliver a presentation. Colleagues interested in presenting a paper are kindly invited to send an extended abstract of a maximum 700 words by email to João de Abreu e Silva (jabreu@tecnico.ulisboa.pt) and Rui Colaço (r.colaco@tecnico.ulisboa.pt) by 31 January 2025 15 February 2025 at the latest. Please indicate the title, author(s), affiliations, corresponding contact, and three keywords. A maximum of three bibliographic references is allowed.
