The 2026 Master Class Program
Copenhagenize Index Series
Turn data into action. Transform cities through cycling.
To celebrate the Copenhagenize 2025 Index – EIT Urban Mobility Edition and ensure its insights reach professionals worldwide, Copenhagenize is launching an unprecedented year of Master Classes in partnership with EIT Urban Mobility.
The 2026 program is designed to empower urban mobility professionals with actionable tools to improve cycling policies, infrastructure, and everyday mobility systems.
Drawing on the findings of the Copenhagenize Index and over a decade of Bicycle Urbanism Master Classes, the program offers a mix of open-enrollment and customized trainings, delivered both online and in person. Targeted at cities, companies, NGOs, and global institutions, these courses introduce proven tools and global best practices to accelerate the shift toward sustainable, inclusive, and bicycle-friendly cities.
What’s new in 2026
This special 2026 program completely revisits and enhances the Bicycle Urbanism curriculum, incorporating exclusive data, innovations, and case studies from the new Copenhagenize Index—available nowhere else. Participants will gain the most up-to-date knowledge and strategies to lead transformative change in their own contexts.
