3rd BOPALiM Webinar: Inclusive mobility and career participation (WG4)
This webinar will present the outputs of a Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) at University College London (UCL), sharing the insights of Rasa Rudaitienė, who examined how inclusive mobility environments influence social and career participation. The focus was on people facing mobility challenges related to disability, ageing, or other factors. Rasa met with researchers from education, psychology, architecture, and disability studies to discuss inclusive design, accessibility, and labour market participation to gain a multidisciplinary perspective. These exchanges highlighted best practices in London’s mobility system and generated ideas for joint research and publications to facilitate WG4 knowledge exchange activities.
The visit created valuable international links, supported knowledge transfer, and contributed to future collaboration, contributing in building capacity while contributing in meeting WG3 objectives. In addition, the STSM also contributed to WG4 objectives through dissemination and communication activities, including the presentation of BOPALiM, its aims, activities, and objectives at diverse audiences in London. This webinar shares key findings, examples of inclusive practices, and possible research directions. Additionally, it offers a brief insight about the value of conducting a STSM for BOPALiM. This webinar is hosted by our WG4 Leader, Dr Nikolas Thomopoulos, on Friday 23rd January 2026 at 13:30 – 14:00 CET.

Rasa Rudaitienė is a PhD student at the Institute of Management and Political Science of Mykolas Romeris University in Lithuania. Her research explores work and career participation for persons with disabilities, including mobility challenges. She has experience in international collaboration through academic exchanges and conferences, including a recent research stay at University College London which was supported by BOPALiM. Her professional interests lie in disability inclusion, social participation, and interdisciplinary approaches to accessibility and she is a member of WG3 and WG4.
2nd BOPALiM Webinar: Preparing case-study foundations for Accessible Transport (WG3)
Our 2nd webinar is delivered by Dr Thomas Morgenthaler and focuses on preparatory work for developing international case-studies about accessible public transport, with the goal of constructing a range of narrative vignettes to inform inclusive mobility solutions.
Work presented in this webinar was supported through a BOPALiM Task 3.3 Virtual Mobility grant for WG3. Over a three-month period, Thomas co-ordinated activities with contributors having different disciplinary backgrounds and laid the groundwork for a robust dataset of case-studies to be collected via a T3.3 survey launched in October 2025. This presentation also highlights how Early Career Researchers can meaningfully contribute to multidisciplinary research, while gaining transferable skills and build new capacities through COST Actions.
This webinar is hosted by our WG4 Leader, Dr Nikolas Thomopoulos, on 11th December 2025 at 13:30 – 14:00 CET.
Thomas Morgenthaler, PhD, MSc, BSc, is a European-trained occupational scientist and therapist specialising in inclusive outdoor play, school-based practice, and evidence-informed play space design. He recently graduated from a Marie Skłodowska-Curie-funded PhD on outdoor play environments, whilst he has developed tools to evaluate playground usability and play value. Thomas lectures across Europe, mentors students, and consults for the playground industry, blending research, teaching, and advocacy to promote meaningful participation for children and communities. In the COST Action BOPALiM, Thomas supports Task 3.3 of WG3 to develop vignettes about accessible public transport solutions and innovations.
