GITMob is a working group that gathers students and researchers from FEUP who are interested on studying and sharing knowledge on Transportation. The group does so by organizing regular informal meetings. The group is hosted at the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management of the University of Porto, and frequently counts with guests from other departments, institutions and organizations.
Here you find a short bio of all members involved on organizing GITMob activities.
