Off to Sweden

Professor Sonia Yeh (Twitter) was awarded with the Håkan Frisingers scholarship for her innovative research on sustainable transport and energy systems. The award is given by the Volvo Research and Educational Foundations (VREF) and the award ceremony will be held next week on May 6 in Gothenburg. Sonia has kindly invited Yusak Susilo and I to join her in the ceremony to celebrate her work and to deliver a public lecture. The program of the event is available here. We will also have a more academic oriented seminar at Chalmers University on May 7 in the morning, for those around. I'll be mostly talking about future directions on accessibility and equity concerns in transport research and policy. Needless to say I am very glad for Sonia's well deserved award and honored by her invitation.

After that I'll be joining some colleagues from Lund University to deliver a seminar at the The Swedish Knowledge Centre for Public Transport (K2) on May 10 at 9h20. We'll be talking about Transport Justice Perspectives: Comparing Calculated and Perceived Accessibility. Pop in if you're in the neighbourhood.
