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

Agenda setting for research + advocacy

How to start and run the S-4-C network:1. What are the key-issues for cycling related research?2. Which sciences, which disciplines are invited to meet/ to

participate?3. 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 settingManfred Neun – Scientists for Cycling Colloquium, Adelaide 2014

5. Agenda + key-issues: focal points for research?


1

The role of new terms and paradigms

1. Besides the agenda: Are there other focal points for research?

2. We have identified these basic criteria, terms and paradigms:

• Active Mobility• Human Rights, Global Justice …

• Sustainability• New terms about cycling


2

The role of new terms and paradigms:

Active Mobility

• Active – what?• Better known: active travel,

active transportation• Well established: NMT - …?• ‘Rest of transportation’?• Active and Passive Mobility –

a complementary system for integrated transport


2.1


Active Mobility

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

2.1


Active Mobility

• 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?


2.1

The Human Rights approachThe 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 2013Neun, 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 2013The Cycling Economy Grid – The Cycling Economy 2.0 by Human Rights

• Suwon September 2013• Tutzing November 2013Cycling is a Global Issue – Increasing demands for cycling related research and the current status of the S4C agenda settingManfred Neun – Scientists for Cycling Colloquium, Adelaide 2014

2.2

Sustainability

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.


2.3

Sustainability

Great impulses from:• UN SETTLEMENT

REPORT 2014• Sustainability and

Human Rights – as a couple

• Cycling is all in one• “The Price of Inequality”

From Economy to Cycling Economy

1. About Economy – some basics in general – investing / householding – saving / return-on-invest

2. The Cycling Economy – widening the frame for investments into cycling

3. The Cycling Economy 2.0, the Human Rights Approach and “The Cycling Economy Grid” – bringing it all together

Perspectives for further research

As outlined, cycling is a global issue,and we are facing an increasing demand for further research:1. In general, as cycling is part of the solution

for all or global problems2. The demand of decision makers in

governments + administrations for efficiency based data

3. Researchers themselves > growing “market”Cycling is a Global Issue – Increasing demands for cycling related research and the current status of the S4C agenda settingManfred Neun – Scientists for Cycling Colloquium, Adelaide 2014

Perspectives for further research:

Horizon 2020

• €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:o European researchers will be free to cooperate with their third country counterparts on topics

of their own choiceo Activities will be developed where cooperation will be sought on particular topics and with well

specific countries and/or regions


4.1The EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation


Horizon 2020

Relevant program areas• Societal Challengeso Activities will be o Health, Demographic Change and Wellbeingo Smart, Green and Integrated Transporto Europe in a changing world - Inclusive, innovative and reflective societieso Secure societies – Protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens

• Industrial leadershipo SMEso Future and emerging technologies


The EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation4.1


Horizon 2020

Some Transport Topicso Traffic safety analysis and integrated approach towards the safety of vulnerable users (research

and innovation)o Transforming the use of conventionally fuelled vehicles in urban areas (research and innovation)o Tackling urban road congestion (research and innovation)o Strengthening the knowledge and capacities of local authorities (research and innovation)o Demonstrating and testing innovative solutions for cleaner and better urban transport and

mobility (innovation and coordination and support)o Transport societal drivers (coordination and support)o User behaviour and mobility patterns in the context of major societal trends (coordination and

support)




Horizon 2020

Status• Traffic safety analysis and integrated approach towards the

safety of vulnerable users (research and innovation)• Results of first stage applications for mobility, safety, June 2014,

second stage August 2014• First applications Green Vehicles Initiative August 2014, results

late 2014

• After these results the pattern will be better known• Next round calls due approximately May 2015

Conclusions• 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 effects and good perspectives for further research

• S4C network is a global platform to trigger the sustainable mobility development
