The need to foster a better relationship between the productive sector, public authorities and the Scientific and Technologic System led the University of Aveiro to create the Technological Platform on Bicycle and Soft Mobility whose mission is to support the creation of conditions to promote bicycle use (in particular) and soft modes of mobility (in general) in the region of Aveiro and Portugal.
Is a local association that promotes bicycles as an important and convenient means of urban transportation and it’s advantages for improving the urban quality of life.
Ciclaveiro develops projects with the community to create and improve the conditions for cycling so that the use of the bicycle is easier, safer and more and more common.
The European Cycling Challenge – ECC2017 is a urban cyclists’ team competition. It takes place from 1 to 31 May 2017.

The aim of the ua cycling lab is to create an interdisciplinary laboratory for the co-creation of projects which promote cycling in the Aveiro region (Campus, City and Region), making it a bike-friendly territory.
In 2016 the TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM OF BIKE AND SOFT MOBILITY of the University of Aveiro launched the COMMITMENT FOR CYCLING with the motto: MORE BICYCLES, BETTER CITIES, HEALTHY PEOPLE, SOCIETY AND ECONOMY!
