Dear all,

 

A reminder that there are only 2 days left to avail our Early Bird registration discount offer for the Health and Wellbeing course (10-13 December 2019), part of the Global Challenges in Transport Oxford Leadership programme.

 

The programme attracts each year transport researchers and professionals from several different countries that meet in the pleasant surroundings of Kellogg College to discuss the challenges of developing more sustainable transport systems with the support of world leading academics.

 

The 2019 Health and Wellbeing course covers the latest research on the complex relationships among different forms of transport and mobility, with health, and wellbeing, including safety and air pollution. It introduces a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches and tools to consider transport-related health impacts and social equity across spatial scales, geographical contexts and transport modes.

Specific attention is given to the potential benefits associated with promoting active travel and in considering how active travel can be encouraged, and how cycling and walking can deliver benefits to personal well-being, public health, the economy and the environment.

 

The main themes covered in the course are:

 

• health, well-being and mobility;
• active travel;
• the social and distributional impacts of transport;
• the use of health impact assessment tools;
• pathways to increase road safety.

 

Our speakers will include Professor Tim Schwanen (University of Oxford), Professor Karen Lucas (University of Leeds), Dr Audrey de Nazelle (Imperial College London), Dr Debbie Hopkins (University of Oxford), Dr Christian Brand (University of Oxford), Dr James Esson (Loughborough University), Dr Jennie Middleton (University of Oxford), Dr Margie Peden (The George Institute for Global Health), Professor Adrian Davis (Edinburgh Napier University) and many others.
