**** SPECTRUM WORKSHOP ****

Following the interest in the Gdansk workshop a further SPECTRUM
dissemination event is to be held in Brussels on 19th July 2005. The
workshop will consist of two parts. In the first part a number of
presentations of the research will be given. The second part will involve a
more interactive session where the views of the stakeholders will be
discussed in terms of their priorities and perceptions of the SPECTRUM
outputs. This workshop has been arranged to take place as a one-day event in
order to keep attendance costs to a minimum.

Deadline for registration: 12 July 2005

Venue: Central Brussels (further details will be communicated as soon as
possible)

Co-ordinator Dr Susan Grant-Muller, [log in to unmask]

SPECTRUM is a project funded by the EU as part of Fifth Framework
Programme. The main objective of the SPECTRUM project is to: "develop a
theoretically sound framework for defining combinations of economic
instruments, regulatory and physical measures in reaching the broad aims
set by transport and other relevant policies" in terms of efficiency and
equity. As there is a tension between managing the transport system in such
a way as to minimise social costs and simultaneously managing the system to
meet increased demand, the work of SPECTRUM will address this problem by
looking at the potential effects of using either individual instruments,
complementary packages of instruments, or the consequences of substituting
instruments, in managing the transport system. The project is scheduled to
finish by August 2005.
