| Abstract | The Vacuum Transport Seminar series enters its next round, following the successful prior editions since the spring semester 2020. It is held online via zoom and offered internationally across a number of European Universities. The seminar was founded and is hosted by Swissloop and the EuroTube Foundation, and partnered by other European institutions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Students present their work in Hyperloop research. Additionally, industry experts contribute insight talks. The seminar is open to all students, everyone is welcome to join join at any of the dates. About the seminar’s background: Swissloop, the Hyperloop Team based at ETH Zürich, is pursuing long-term support for research and education in vacuum transport. In addition to the active team constructing and building a Hyperloop pod every year, various research projects at ETH are pursued in cooperation with EuroTube. The EuroTube Foundation accelerates the development of sustainable vacuum transportation technologies to provide publicly accessible research and testing infrastructures for universities and industry. About Vacuum Transportation: The demand for air transport has more than doubled in the last 20 years and is growing yearly by about 6.5%. Global demand for cargo and passenger transportation can barely be met today – let alone in a sustainable manner. Vacuum transport can replace short to medium distance flights and can significantly reduce CO2 emissions. The market of high-speed transportation is a global megatrend set to affect our lives in years to come. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
