Dear All,

THE ISSUE Conference 2014 organised by De Montfort University on 11th - 12th February 2014 at the Holywell Park Conference Centre, Loughborough might be of interest to some of you. THE ISSUE is the European Commission Seventh Framework Programme funded project which aims to bring together five European regions in the areas of traffic, health and environment to develop solutions for sustaining urban economies. Project details at http://www.theissue.eu/

This FREE two day conference will bring together delegates and exhibitors from across the UK and Europe to network and explore ways of bridging the gap between local and regional policy priorities and technological innovation. The theme of the conference is Sustainable Transport Technologies - Innovation Through Collaboration. More details at http://dmu.ac.uk/research/research-faculties-and-institutes/technology/digits/events/the-issue-conference-2014.aspx

Also some of you might also be interested in THE ISSUE consortium's  publication "Space and ICT Applications supporting Smart, Green, Integrated Transport and Urban Mobility" launched in Oct 2013.  This publication is a collection of 40 case studies of research, development and innovation in action addressing transport and urban mobility issues. Each case study relates to one or more of the identified Societal Challenges and discusses current work and potential solutions available within the current technological and industrial landscape.  The collection establishes the growing impact of new technologies, especially from the fields of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Space Data Products and Services, in urban traffic management and urban mobility, including environmental and health impacts.

THE ISSUE Model Programme, together with the associated Joint Action Plan, is designed to become a major contributor to the European Commission's Horizon 2020 programme under the "Smart, Green and Integrated Transport" Agenda. Economic growth and job creation at regional and local levels are key objectives and the Model Programme is the means of delivery.

The publication can be downloaded at http://www.theissue.eu/en/a/THE-ISSUE-Publication

On behalf of THE ISSUE consortium, we are looking forward to see some of you at the conference and building future research collaborations.

Best wishes,
