REMINDER - THE DEADLINE FOR ABSRACTS FOR THIS YEARS CYCLING & SOCIETY SYSPOSIUM IS TODAY
10th CYCLING AND SOCIETY ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM, University of Central Lancashire, Ty'n Dwr Outdoor Centre, Llangollen, Wales MONDAY 9th and TUESDAY 10th September, 2013
FINAL Call for Abstracts: Deadline Friday 1st March, 2013
The Cycling and Society Annual Symposium is an informal and interdisciplinary event. It welcomes academics, policy makers and advocates who wish to share research, knowledge and experience of any topic related to cycling. As with previous symposia we welcome presentations on all areas of cycling policy, provision and research, but as this is our tenth meeting we would particularly encourage contributions that reflect upon the changes over the last 10 years or postulate on what the world of cycling will be like in 2023. As the area is currently being promoted as the 'North Wales Cycling Centre of Excellence' http://www.conwy.gov.uk/doc.asp?cat=10242&doc=31753&Language=1 and the recent study published by the European Parliament http://www.europarl.europa.eu/committees/en/tran/studiesdownload.html?languageDocument=EN&file=78331 we would also be interested in papers addressing cycle tourism development.
Following the success of last year we are inviting both oral and poster presentations. Poster presentations are particularly suitable for those new to presenting or to raise awareness of new projects. To submit an abstract, please email your title with an abstract of up to 300 words, stating whether you would prefer a poster or an oral presentation, to [log in to unmask] by the deadline of Friday 1st March 2013. Abstracts will be reviewed by a panel of members of the Cycling and Society Research Group and decisions will be sent via e-mail to the corresponding author by Friday 29th March 2013.
Those wishing to participate without presenting are also very welcome to attend. A programme will be available in April giving details of presentations and additional events including local cycle rides and the annual Cycling and Society Research Group meeting. The fee for attending the event will be no more than £20 (this will be waived for presenters) - registration will be available from early April. If you require any further information in the meantime please contact Richard Weston at [log in to unmask] . Details of the venue can be found at http://www.uclan.ac.uk/information/services/fm/tyn_dwr/files/TynDwr_FS2_Welcome.pdf and details of the area at http://www.clwydianrangeaonb.org.uk/ and http://www.pontcysyllte-aqueduct.co.uk/.
