  2. Content • Agenda setting for research and advocacy • New terms and paradigms: focal points for research • Cycling is a Global Issue • Perspectives for further research • Conclusions Cycling is a Global Issue – Increasing demands for cycling related research and the current status of the S4C agenda setting Manfred Neun– Scientists for Cycling Colloquium, Adelaide 2014

  3. Agenda setting for research + advocacy 1 How to start and run the S-4-C network: • What are the key-issues for cycling related research? • Which sciences, which disciplines are invited to meet/ to participate? • How can we use the agenda to bridge from science / academia to cycling advocacy (and/or to politics plus experts)?

Cycling is a Global Issue – Increasing demands for cycling related research and the current status of the S4C agenda setting Manfred Neun– Scientists for Cycling Colloquium, Adelaide 2014

  13. The role of new terms and paradigms 2 • Besides the agenda: Are there other focal points for research? • We have identified these basic criteria, terms and paradigms: • Active Mobility • Human Rights, Global Justice … • Sustainability • New terms about cycling Cycling is a Global Issue – Increasing demands for cycling related research and the current status of the S4C agenda setting Manfred Neun– Scientists for Cycling Colloquium, Adelaide 2014

  14. The role of new terms and paradigms:Active Mobility 2.1 • Active – what? • Better known: active travel, active transportation • Well established: NMT - …? • ‘Rest of transportation’? • Active and Passive Mobility – a complementary system for integrated transport Cycling is a Global Issue – Increasing demands for cycling related research and the current status of the S4C agenda setting Manfred Neun– Scientists for Cycling Colloquium, Adelaide 2014

  15. The role of new terms and paradigms:Active Mobility 2.1 • Active and Passive Mobility – a complementary system for integrated transport • All modes of transport are needed for integrated transport • Accessibility to public space • Equality: no two-class policy, no two class society Cycling is a Global Issue – Increasing demands for cycling related research and the current status of the S4C agenda setting Manfred Neun– Scientists for Cycling Colloquium, Adelaide 2014

  16. The role of new terms and paradigms:Active Mobility 2.1 • Active and Passive Mobility – even in a complementary system: Are they of equal value? • Is there a basic right / liberty for AM and/or PM? • Can there be a Human Right for AM and/or PM? • For what are public authorities responsible for? Cycling is a Global Issue – Increasing demands for cycling related research and the current status of the S4C agenda setting Manfred Neun– Scientists for Cycling Colloquium, Adelaide 2014

  17. The Human Rights approach 2.2 The Human Rights approach was developed in several steps: • Vancouver June 2012 – Charter Tranter, Paul [2012]: Creating cycle friendly cities? – It’s child’s play. Plenary speech; Velo-city Global 2012, Vancouver, BC. • Nantes May 2013 Neun, Manfred [2013]: Public Space and the Human Right on Active Mobility: How to use the impact of cycling for sustainability and Human Rights’ consideration. Presentation at the 5th World Forum on Human Rights on May 25th, 2013, Nantes. • Vienna June 2013 The Cycling Economy Grid – The Cycling Economy 2.0 by Human Rights • Suwon September 2013 • Tutzing November 2013 Cycling is a Global Issue – Increasing demands for cycling related research and the current status of the S4C agenda setting Manfred Neun– Scientists for Cycling Colloquium, Adelaide 2014

  18. Sustainability 2.3 Is there a global need? • Non-sustainability is growing. • “Sustainability” is a fragile term; and: reducing non-sustainable behavior not automatically creates sustainable results. • We are targeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals– SDGs. • Target: cycling +Active Mobility must be in. Cycling is a Global Issue – Increasing demands for cycling related research and the current status of the S4C agenda setting Manfred Neun– Scientists for Cycling Colloquium, Adelaide 2014

  19. Sustainability 2.3 Great impulses from: • UN SETTLEMENT REPORT 2014 • Sustainability and Human Rights – as a couple • Cycling is all in one • “The Price of Inequality” The Balancing Factors The Bosting Factors The Basic Factors Economic - Social - Environmental “The Sustainability Cube” M.

  23. Perspectives for further research 4 As outlined, cycling is a global issue, and we are facing an increasing demand for further research: • In general, as cycling is part of the solution for all or global problems • The demand of decision makers in governments + administrations for efficiency based data • Researchers themselves > growing “market” Cycling is a Global Issue – Increasing demands for cycling related research and the current status of the S4C agenda setting Manfred Neun– Scientists for Cycling Colloquium, Adelaide 2014

  24. Perspectives for further research:Horizon 2020 4.1 The EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation • €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020) • Flagship initiative aimed at securing Europe's global competitiveness • Excellent science, industrial leadership and tackling societal challenges • Open to participation from entities from across the world: • European researchers will be free to cooperate with their third country counterparts on topics of their own choice • Activities will be developed where cooperation will be sought on particular topics and with well specific countries and/or regions Cycling is a Global Issue – Increasing demands for cycling related research and the current status of the S4C agenda setting Manfred Neun– Scientists for Cycling Colloquium, Adelaide 2014

  29. Conclusions 5 • Agenda setting helps – stimulating research and advocacy • New terms and paradigms: focal points for science, stimulating the own work and meeting from different disciplines • Cycling is a Global Issue with positive effectsand good perspectives for further research • S4C network is a global platform to trigger the sustainable mobility development Cycling is a Global Issue – Increasing demands for cycling related research and the current status of the S4C agenda setting Manfred Neun– Scientists for Cycling Colloquium, Adelaide 2014

  30. cycling in this growing world Invitation S4C collaborationson Agenda Setting for sustainable mobility development: To tighten the terms To develop our paradigms To publish and communicate To fight for resources and acknowledgement!
