Background to the seminar series

Moving the Region Forward is a unique seminar series developed through a partnership between the Universities of Plymouth and the West of England, Bristol, the CBI and the trade organisations of the transport sector in South West England.

The twelve seminars are designed to assist businesses in the region with their recovery from the recession, by promoting best practice techniques, sharing professional knowledge and expertise, and medium term planning. They will bring together leading experts, practitioners and theorists to support a mixture of targeted sector professionals, local businesses, public sector officers, academic audiences, and the general public.

To ensure the widest regional coverage and participation - six will be held at the Centre for Sustainable Transport at the University of Plymouth, and six at the Centre for Transport & Society at the University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE). The series is financially supported by the South West Regional Improvement and Efficiency Partnership and Plymouth City Council.

In addition to the thematic focus of each event, the seminars will also serve to bring together the private, public and academic sectors in a networking environment to stimulate contacts and develop professional relationships.
