Laura Babío
Laura joined POLIS in March 2020.
As lead of the Smart Mobility Cluster, her main task involves coordinating and leading the network’s activities on topical issues and emerging themes related to ITS, network management, and digitalisation, including multi-modal network management, open data, data spaces, open systems/interoperability, C-ITS, automation, and mobility-as-a-service (MaaS). She has been involved in several EU-funded projects related these topics, such as PAV, MOBI-MIX, Dynaxibility4CE, MobiDataLab and e-smartec.
She also works as POLIS’ Just Transition Co-coordinator, ensuring that the Just Transition Agenda is promoted through the network’s activities.
