Transnational Scenario Development Team
Starting in January 2012, 4 interdisciplinary teams, consisting out of 12 selected students from 5 universities, will be working on developing a synthesis of NWE mobility project results in form of scenarios for future seamless travel.
With the help and guidance of experts from the 4 NWE mobility projects, RoCK, BAPTS, ICMA and SINTROPHER and experts from the engaging universities, the mostly postgraduate students from the University College London, University of Aberdeen, University of Wuppertal, University of Bielefeld and Breda University of Applied Sciences, will analyze typical North West European journies from different target group perspective. Please visit our blogspot to follow up on the transnational student travel audit postings.
The student’s work will be one of several contributions upon which the synaptic partnership will base its recommendations for future EU funding priorities, especially in the area of Interreg V mobility and transport projects.
