prices 2005 in order to provide data which facilitate well-informed decision
making. In addition, a regular newsletter is available since August 2005.
The newsletter aims at supporting government officials as well as decision
makers from NGO's and the private sector in developing and implementing

********************EVENTS (call for abstracts first, then chronological
order)
 
* European Transport Conference 2006 Call for Abstracts
The European Transport Conference (ETC) is viewed as the key sector event.
It brings together speakers and delegates to form a "who's who" of transport
policy and innovation from across Europe. 
Each year, the conference attracts some 500 delegates who find that it is a
unique event in Europe, where they can find in-depth presentations on policy
issues, research findings and best practice across a broad spectrum of
transport modes. A market place for commerce and ideas, ETC is designed to
generate networking opportunities for business, new studies as well as
informing strategic transport planning at all levels. Policy makers,
researchers, planners, analysts, transport managers and environmentalists
from some 30 countries will attend the event. 
If you come to the Conference, it may be to present a paper or to listen to
others, but you will find yourself in the midst of a network of
professionals who are committed to a common cause of understanding the
transport agenda to be tackled in Europe and its neighbouring countries.

The 5th Better Air Quality (BAQ) workshop will be held in the third week of
September in the historic city of Yogyakarta in Central Java, Indonesia. The
theme of BAQ 2006 is called a "Celebration of Efforts" to highlight the
success stories that Asian countries, cities and communities have achieved
over the last years in addressing air pollution while at the same time
highlighting the efforts that are still ahead in improving air quality in
Asia.
BAQ 2006 will be hosted by the Ministry of Environment the Province and City
of Yogyakarta, and the Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities. 
BAQ 2006 aims to improve the science on which air quality management in Asia
is based; strengthen the governance structure for urban air quality
mangaement in Asia, develop stronger stakeholder networks on air quality
management in Asia that involve local and national governments, civil
society, academe, private sector, and development agencies. 
The focus of the workshop will be on urban air quality management in Asian
cities and will address air pollution from mobile, stationary and area
sources. Attention will be given to long range transport of air pollution
for its impact on urban air quality. BAQ 2006 will continue the discussions
from BAQ 2004 on the linkages between urban air quality management and
climate change mitigation and the manner in which these two processes can
become mutually reinforcing.

* Workshop on Agricultural Air Quality: State of the Science
This Workshop is a result of two previous efforts: A National Research
Council Report which recommended further research on agricultural air
quality problems; and, a USDA Agricultural Air Quality Task Force which
directed the "National Research Initiative: Competitive Grants Program to
develop a research agenda". 
Recent studies provide convincing evidence that changes in agricultural crop
production and increases in animal activities are altering the emissions of
trace gases to the atmosphere. These emissions can perturb the environment
with a host of beneficial and detrimental effects such as increased crop
yields from nitrogen loading or decreased visibility from increased aerosol
production. 
Maximizing the benefits and reducing the detrimental effects of agricultural
production requires us to transcend scientific disciplines, and political
boundaries. This task challenges the creativity of natural and social
scientists, economists, engineers, business leaders, and policy makers. 
The Workshop on Agricultural Air Quality: State of the Science will provide
a venue for multidisciplinary teams of experts to share their knowledge,
present new research, and work together to develop new avenues for science
and technology transfer, education and outreach. We believe this Workshop
will play a significant role in helping shape the future of the agricultural
practices and agricultural air quality analysis framework for the United
States. We hope you will join us for this important event.
Dates and venue: 5th - 8th June, 2006, Bolger Conference Center, Potomac,
Maryland near Washington, DC-USA.

* 3rd International Symposium NETWORKS for MOBILITY 2006
Solutions for most current and future transportation problems can be found
neither for single modes of transport nor within single disciplines. On the
contrary, improvements in the sense of sustainable mobility require close
ties between modes of transport as well as the integration of planning,
technical and socioeconomic competences. The effects of political decisions
on the one hand, and the interaction of supply and demand on the other, and
finally the technical and planning possibilities lead to interdependencies
that can only be treated in system approaches and network solutions. 
Date & Venue: 05th-06th October, 2006, Stuttgart.
