Dear Subscriber,   

We have entered a busy period with many conferences, information days, workshops and deadlines to comply with.
Technology has also shown lots of innovations such as "The Daily" web magazine that was launched last 2nd February. This new source of information will be available for iPads only and this represents a total change with the past when items of information were printed on paper and then were published (partially or entirely) online (firstly on websites designed for computers only then also on mobile editions designed for smartphones).
Exactly one month later the new Apple iPad2 was launched. It is thinner and lighter than the previous one, it has got a faster processor and front and rear cameras. Some analysts predict that in the short terms the netbooks (i.e. smaller laptops) will disapper from the market due to the wide choice of tablet PCs now available.
  
In the EC projects field a number of new calls have been recently launched (as listed below) and many others will be by Summertime. This means new opportunities for us to design the world of the future that will hopefully be safer, greener and more comfortable.
EPN Consulting is available to provide assistance to public and private organisations that would like to see their ideas converted into a sound proposal to be submitted. We are also an ideal partner for your project consortium as we have got a lot of experience in dealing with EC projects. Contact us to know more about how we can help you.
  
EPN Consulting is a front runner within this fast evolution process and its network of professionals generates a lot of excellent know-how. If you are not a member yet, don't wait any longer and join us: a number of exclusive services are waiting for you.
If you are already an EPN Consulting Member, please remember that if you introduce new members both of you will receive a discount on your membership fees!
  
We wish you a bubbling March!

Latest news from EPN Consulting Members - GIST

GIST-Universidad de CantabriaOne of our members, The Grupo de Investigacion de Sistemas de Transporte (GIST) of the University of Cantabria (Spain), was proud to see one of their works published on the EC's DG Environment News Alert Service.

The new research explored public expectations of Public Transport. Surveys of Spanish citizens revealed that existing bus users have different expectations of transport quality compared to non- or "potential" users. The results may help to inform future public transport policy and campaigns which encourage more people to use public transport.
