Sydney – “The Future of Urban Transport” (AIP Event on 11 November)

Posted on by

This event could be useful to ASC members interested in transport and student competitions. This is especially so as ASC members have just been offered the 50% AIP discount to the event!

The event announcement follows:

Introducing this year’s AIP Physics in Industry Day: “The Future of Urban Transport”

How will science and technology (and society and psychology?) determine the urban transport infrastructure of the far future? We have assembled a diverse range of speakers from robotics research, ICT research leadership, future scenario planning, urban planning, materials science and multinational infrastructure business to advocates for rail, cycling and pedestrian access to share their expertise and enlighten us with their visions of the future(s) of urban transport.

The program will explore the range of possible futures for cars as well as all forms of public transport.

Student Research Poster competition with $1000 first prize – be entertained by the ever popular “speed sell” session where each student promotes their research – in 60 seconds!!

As always, AIP (and ASC) membership delivers you a tremendous saving of $55 (that’s 50% of the standard registration) and it’s even less for students/concessions. Check http://physics-industry.com for registration cost. Entrants to the poster competition are FREE as are Fellows of the AIP. Registration includes refreshments, lunch and parking.

Thursday 11th November 8:30am-5:00pm at CSIRO, Bradfield Road, Lindfield, NSW 2070.
