Program
Progress
The program
for WOCREF 2012 is taking shape with the acceptance of a score and seven
abstracts from researchers and practitioners in the Netherlands, Ireland,
England, Italy, South Africa, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, the
United States, and Croatia. The diversity of topics includes aspects of
safety, programs to increase cycling, mountain biking trail resilience,
social meanings, e-bikes, and commuting cycling to name a few. The full
list of authors, presenters and titles can be viewed here and includes students, practitioners
and senior academics.
Such a diverse
range of presentations will produce a program with something of interest
for everyone and is guaranteed to spark discussion and debate throughout
the Forum and its associated social program. More on the presentation
program, social events, registration and accommodation options will be
posted as organisation for the forum continues. More specific information
about WOCREF 2012 can be found here.
WOCREF
2012, Enschede, The Netherlands: 13 – 14 September
Following from
the success of the inaugural event in Brisbane, WOCREF 2012 will be held
at the Conference Hotel Drienerburght on the campus of the University of
Twente in Enschede, a
delightful city in the east of The Netherlands.
Joining WOCREF
organiser Stu Clement as co-Convenor will be Professor
Martin van Maarseveen. Martin is Head of the Department
of Urban and Regional Planning and Geo-Information Management at the
University of Twente and is one of the principals behind the Cycling
Academic Network.
WOCREF is the
ideal opportunity for those active and interested in research into
cycling to present their work and even present their ideas for work, to
others of a similar persuasion. WOCREF encourages feedback to presenters
and is particularly encouraging for students to present progress at
whatever stage on their work.
