TU Wien student Markus shares his experience from his exchange semester at the 芝浦工業大学／Shibaura Institute of Technology:

💬 "Through the help of JASEC, I had the opportunity to study in Tokyo. It helped me grow academically and personally. Stepping out of your comfort zone is so important, and an exchange in Japan is the perfect way to do it. The rich culture and amazing food bring so much joy, and with JASEC’s support, the organizational hurdles were kept to a minimum. I highly recommend this experience!"

The Forschungsbereich für Verkehrsplanung und Verkehrstechnik invited to an incredibly insightful seminar featuring Prof. Kenichi Soga from UC Berkeley. As the Director of the Berkeley Center for Smart Infrastructure, Prof. Soga shared groundbreaking insights into how data-informed systems can help us tackle the dual challenges of infrastructure deterioration and climate change.
Traditional design methods often fall short when long-term user behaviors, technological shifts, and environmental demands evolve. Prof. Soga convincingly argued that the future lies in closing the gap between measured asset behavior and actual service delivery.

This cutting-edge research is a perfect example of how combining engineering innovation with smart technology strengthens a resilient society and enables effective risk management. By transforming static infrastructure into adaptable, learning systems, we can better protect our communities from cascading failures and the increasingly severe impacts of climate change.
A huge thank you to Prof. Soga for bringing these inspiring perspectives from UC Berkeley to TU Wien. Many thanks also to Bingyu Zhao for organizing this inspiring event.
