Summary
André has a background in Sociology and has been working on R&I transport-related EU projects since 2008, coordinating several assignments related with the social dimension of transport as well as on innovative modes of transport and future mobility concepts, such as CCAM, urban air mobility and hyperloop.
He has a track record of experience in CIVITAS projects, as well as in a handful of other urban programmes focused on forward-looking transport solutions. His main topics of interest are also diverse. Besides the ones previously mentioned, he has been working on TEN-T policy, on the mobility pillar of the EC long-term vision for rural areas and on transport poverty. Gender equality, diversity and inclusion, both from the perspective of the users and the transport workforce, have also been a focal point for André in several assignments delivered to the European Commission and the European Investment Bank.
Apart from leading several EU-wide stakeholder consultations, he also has experience in using EU-recognised methods and techniques for shaping solid and evidence-based policies and regulations. In addition to his experience in Impact Assessment studies for the European Commission, he has expertise in evaluation and a deep knowledge of the Better Regulation Guidelines and Toolbox, including the qualitative and quantitative research tools described therein.
He is passionate about capturing the contrasting interests in urban mobility and helping local stakeholders navigate governance, policy and regulatory constraints and opportunities. In this regard, he particularly enjoys to help creating future visions and triggering a sense of ownership and mutual understanding of the envisaged strategies through creative engagement techniques.
