Study cycling

In 2020, Frankfurt UAS was one of seven universities in Germany to receive an endowed professorship in cycling from the Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs and Transport (BMDV). While the topic was already part of teaching and research, Prof. Dennis Knese and the staff of the ReLUT - Research Lab for Urban Transport have expanded and deepened the study offers.
