Where do you think you’re going?

 

Newcastle upon Tyne 25th June 2009

 

Newcastle University and Imperial College would like to invite you to participate in a different sort of Workshop to help shape future research into sustainable intelligent transport. 

 

It will be sparky; it will be challenging; it will think the unthinkable – and it will be FREE with refreshments provided. 

You’ll not want to miss it, will you?

 

•        Will the internet and technology influence how we travel?    Whether we travel at all?

•        Can technology help mobility?

•        How useful is “user-generated content”?

•        How far can mobile internet and Web2.0 get you? – literally

•        Where is transport research going?

•        Did Beethoven have a food processor?

 

Come and listen to new thoughts on old problems; share with us what you think matters; show us what you’re up to; join in when people ask the questions they’ve always wanted to pose on transport and the internet; suggest the areas you think need investigation.

 

Proceedings will be live blogged and tweeted from the event; together with remote contributions these will be forwarded to EPSRC as the outcome of the workshop and the SIMM final report.

 

11am – 6pm 25th June 2009 Newcastle upon Tyne  – venue and timings tbc.
