Project Consortium
PERSEUS brings together 8 full partners, 11 cooperation partners and additional city and Urban Living Lab partners from four European countries. The consortium includes: Universities and research institutions, Municipality-owned enterprises, Industry partners and Public authorities.
This interdisciplinary structure ensures scientific excellence, technical innovation and practical relevance.
Who are you
University of Aegean and the Laboratory of Transportation and Decision Making (TransDeM) engage in a comprehensive
range of work in transport sciences.
Our focus spans transport engineering, economics and logistics, as well as the
psychology of transport and studies on behavior change.
What's your role in PERSEUS?
University of the Aegean is the coordinator of the PERSEUS project.
Besides coordination, we are actively involved in the technical development of the PERSEUS tool, as well as providing scientific and technical support for the KPIs and working closely with the city partners. We also act as the scientific partner of the Municipality of Chios.
Who are you
UIV – Urban Innovation Vienna is the climate and innovation agency of the City of Vienna.
We promote sustainable urban transformation with a strong focus on mobility, public space and climate-neutral cities, and collaborate with partners across sectors to shape resilient, future-oriented urban environments.
What's your role in PERSEUS?
UIV coordinates stakeholder dissemination and the Community of Practice within PERSEUS. We design and lead outreach activities beyond the consortium, connecting the project with key European and national networks.
Through articles, webinars and events, we support the uptake of the PERSEUS tool and foster exchange between cities, policymakers and practioners.
Who are you
tbw research is an independent, non-profitoriented company dedicated to advancing sustainable mobility systems and resilient environments.
We combine scientific expertise with practical implementation to support cities and regions in developing integrated mobility solutions, innovative planning approaches and evidence-based pathways toward future-proof, peoplecentered public spaces.
What's your role in PERSEUS?
tbwr leads the project’s stakeholder dialogue to gather structured feedback on the indicators and the Decision Support Tool. We coordinate a co-pilot scheme in which project partners act as direct liaisons to the pilot cities, ensuring continuous exchange and tailored support.
We provide unified methodological guidelines, synthesize insights across pilots, facilitate international knowledge sharing, and integrate input from the Scientific Advisory Board to ensure coherent and robust project outcomes.
Who are you
iSPACE plus is an applied research organisation based in Salzburg, Austria, specialising in spatial data analytics for sustainable mobility, energy and
regional development.
We develop data-driven
methods and planning tools to support integrated mobility and spatial planning. Our work combines accessibility analysis, mobility data and spatial modelling to support evidence-based decisions and the development of more accessible, climate-friendly and people-centred cities and regions.
What's your role in PERSEUS?
iSPACE plus develops the indicator framework used in PERSEUS to assess 15-minute city conditions and evaluate mobility policy scenarios.
The framework covers key dimensions including accessibility, environmental conditions, built environment, economic aspects, equity and transport system performance. By linking these indicators with traffic modelling and spatial data, we support evidence-based analysis of urban mobility policies.
Who are you
We are the research team from Linköping University (LiU) in Sweden, conducting boundary-crossing research across engineering and social sciences. Our interdisciplinary team includes experts in digitalisation, data analytics, economic analysis, business model innovation, and strategic urban planning. We specialise in developing AI-based decision support systems and co-creating strategies for climate-neutral, sustainable cities in close collaboration with municipalities and industry actors.
What's your role in PERSEUS?
LiU leads Work Package 4, focusing on the Interactive Policy Effect Navigator. Our primary role is bridging the gap between complex transport modelling and practical urban planning. We are designing a visually intuitive, user-friendly Decision Support System (DSS) that translates technical indicators into actionable insights. This interactive tool empowers both experts and citizens to explore scenarios and evaluate the impacts of 15-minute city policies.
Who are you
We are the Research Unit of Transport Planning and Traffic Engineering at TU Wien, Vienna. For over 40 years, our interdisciplinary team has worked across all areas of sustainable mobility from pedestrian and cycling infrastructure to public transport, road safety, and land-use modelling. Combining rigorous research with real-world practice, including transport master plans for cities worldwide, we work under one mission: „Sustainable Mobility for People.“
What's your role in PERSEUS?
TU Wien leads the development of the interactive visualisation platform, translating complex 15mC indicator outputs into intuitive, web-accessible maps and tools that both experts and citizens can use. We also contribute to the scientific development of the indicators and potentiality index, support Austrian pilot city partners throughout the study, and serve as PERSEUS’s ambassador to the DUT knowledge hub community
Who are you
The Chair of Transport Modelling and Simulation at TU Dresden specializes in developing advanced transport planning, design, and assessment methodologies, with emphasis on transferability and adoption in data scare environment. Our expertise spans developing: automated planning models, sustainability and fairness metrics for responsible transport, and system resilience and impacts assessment methods in human conflicts.
What's your role in PERSEUS?
At TU Dresden, we contribute to PERSEUS as transport modelling and policy research experts. We develop data-driven models to evaluate key indicators, conduct cost–benefit analyses of policy scenarios, and provide actionable insights. Additionally, we support the creation of decision-support tools, ensuring that indicators are interpreted correctly and effectively applied to guide sustainable urban mobility planning
