Dear all,
There are just three days left in which to submit abstracts for UTSG's 45th Annual Conference.
The conference will be hosted by the University of Oxford on Wednesday 2nd - Friday 4th January 2013 inclusive. Staff and students of UTSG member institutions are invited to submit 200-300 word abstracts for consideration using the online submission form at www.utsg.net . Papers are also welcomed from honorary staff of a member institution (or from staff and students who have now left a member institution) where the paper relates to work carried out under the aegis of the institution (or while a member of staff or student was at the institution).
Papers are invited on both completed work and projects in their early stages in any field of transport, travel and mobility. Inclusion of papers in the conference does not constitute publication, and papers submitted to a journal for publication may also be submitted to the conference unless they appear in a journal before the conference.
Eligible authors are also invited to enter the competition for the Smeed Prize, which will be awarded for the best student paper. The first prize is £500 and the runner-up prize is £250. The winning paper may also be published in an appropriate journal. Prospective entrants should consult the Smeed Prize regulations, available from www.utsg.net . Please note especially that abstracts for papers to be entered into the Smeed Prize competition need to be between 800-1000 words and accompanied by a confirmation e-mail from the candidate's supervisor, which must be sent to Dr David Bonilla ([log in to unmask]) by 31 August 2012.
Deadline for abstracts: Friday 31st August 2012
Deadline for accepted papers: Friday 16th November 2012.
Full conference details including the 'Call for Papers' and the Smeed Prize rules can be found at www.utsg.net .
Best wishes,
Simon
