10 June 2026 – The ROLL-I team out and about on the 25th Rolli Tour organised by ASB Chemnitz

Our project team was there in person! To mark the 25th anniversary of the Rolli-Tour, organised by ASB Ortsverband Chemnitz und Umgebung e.V., we took the opportunity to get actively involved. Every year, this long-standing event brings together people with and without mobility impairments to break down barriers together and experience the city from the perspective of wheelchair users.

For us as a research team, taking part was not only a wonderful shared experience, but also a valuable opportunity to engage directly with the community and witness first-hand the practical challenges posed by urban infrastructure.
