WSSTL - 2027

Visibility Lab

The Visibility Lab at WSSTL provides consortia and research groups as well as practitioners and municipalities with a platform to showcase their projects through creative formats. It provides a chance to make a highlighted, custom presentation that can be held in various formats of your choice before, during and after WSSTL 2027, such as a podcast, video, blog, small exhibition, multi-media presentation, etc., in front of an expert audience. Additionally, Visibility Lab contributions will be published in the WSSTL 2027 symposium booklet, which will be distributed to all participants. This offers high visibility for your project.

There will be a possibility to partner with student “buddies” to co-create personalised materials for your presentation. The Visibility Lab is intended to highlight projects and works of consortia, research groups, and practitioners that contribute to improve the livability of cities and sustainability of transport. Commercial corporate advertising is not permitted in this track. Outstanding submissions will be eligible for the Visibility Lab award.

To present within the Visibility Lab, please submit your proposal by 15 October 2026 through our submission portal using this proposal form. We welcome proposals that align thematically with WSSTL themes. For more details please examine our call for Visibility Lab page. Proposals will be reviewed and if your proposal is accepted, you will have the possibility to partner with student “buddies” to co-create presentation materials. If you are interested in partnering with student buddies (optional), please register for the symposium by 31 October 2026. Alternatively, you can create your presentation materials by yourself. In this case you must register for the symposium by 15 January 2027. One team member must register for Visibility Lab in order to guarantee a space for presentation.
