Dear all,

 

A reminder that this is the last week to apply for the Inspiration Fund Scholarship to attend the Global Challenges in Transport programme (More information on the programme at: http://www.tsu.ox.ac.uk/course/).

 

These scholarships have emerged from our ongoing research on ‘The challenges of teaching sustainable transport’. This project aims at better understanding how short courses organised by various UK Universities answer the needs of the transport public and private sector whilst critically reflecting upon how they might shape or challenge current transport planning views and practices.

 

We are strongly committed to delivering a programme that allows knowledge exchange and dialogue amongst a rich and diverse group of researchers and practitioners from different countries and backgrounds. This scholarship is therefore specifically designed to facilitate the attendance of women practitioners and researchers from low income countries. 

 

The scholarship will be available for the courses ‘Infrastructure, Development and Finance’ (4-7 September 2018) and ‘Health, Wellbeing and Transport’ (4-7 December 2018). It will cover tuition fees, accommodation and some travel expenses whilst enabling beneficiaries to attend one of the two courses as well as participating in our research project.

 

Candidates applying must satisfy the following requirements:

 

• National of (and currently working/researching in) countries who receive official development assistance from the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) (for full list visit http://www.oecd.org/dac/financing-sustainable-development/development-finance-standards/daclist.htm)
• Willing to be involved as a participant in ‘The challenges of teaching sustainable transport’ research project
• Fluency in the English language
• Strong evidence of work/research experience in the transport policy/planning sector in line with the specific course theme/content

To apply please fill in the attached application form by 19^th of July 2018 and return it to [log in to unmask].

 

Best wishes
