Hello My apologies if you have found this message cross-posted - the email below has just landed in my inbox, and may be of interest to any UG or PG students looking at driver behaviour. Contact details for the organiser are right at the end. Denham Phipps http://www.linkedin.com/pub/a/665/704 -----Original Message----- From: Universities Transport Study Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Oliver Carsten Sent: 01 June 2009 18:13 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [UTSG] Opportunity for students to win a prize and an internship in Brussels Please pass this message on to your students and feel free to circulate it as widely as possible. The ShLOW! (Show me How Slow) project, led by the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC), still has openings for projects by UK-based students. Through participation in ShLOW!, students have a chance to win a prize to be awarded in 2010 on the basis of their project and also the chance to obtain a safety-related internship with ETSC, a campaigning organisation in Brussels. ShLOW! focuses on the work of committed young students who will be encouraged to run a local campaign or concrete action to reduce speeding in road transport with the support of ETSC and its partners. The first stage for the students is participation in a "Camp" in Brussels, which provides a one-week training on speed management. Using the knowledge acquired during the Camp, the students will, on their return home, carry out an individual project on Speed Management at the local level. During their projects, the students will receive the support of consortium partners. At the end of ShLOW!, the most successful student will be invited to Brussels to receive an award. All types of student are eligible - undergraduate, masters and PhD. Projects should relate to a particular initiative or campaign on speed management, which could be on a campus or local level. Small-scale projects are not a problem - indeed they are desirable in that they are more likely to have achievable impacts. SHLOW! projects can also relate to some activity that is already taking place. Further information about ShLOW! can be found on the project website, http://www.shlow.eu/. The deadline for the finalisation of proposals for projects is the end of June. Any interested students from the UK should get in touch with me at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
