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.

Customized master classes can be hosted in Paris, immersed in one of the world’s top cycling cities, or in your own city, fully in-person or a hybrid online/in-person format.

Custom Index-Updated Bicycle Urbanism Essentials

Custom Master Classes can be hosted in Paris, your hometown, or another city of your choice, and can be fully in-person or a hybrid online/in-person format. Either way, the experience is packed with learnings and discussion using the 2025 Index as an assessment tool for your own city. You will leave the master class with a clear understanding of your city’s strengths and weaknesses and a roadmap of what steps to take to improve.
