Velomobile Seminar 2009 - Call for papers

Invitation to submit papers to the

6th European Seminar on Velomobile Design, Copenhagen October 16.-17.
2009.

The series of Velomobile Design Seminars started in 1993 in Copenhagen.
Through 15 years the 

seminars have been an important inspiration to the development of
velomobiles for practical 

transport and sport.

The perspectives for velomobiles as an alternative, environmental
friendly means of 

transportation are today more obvious than ever. In many situations a
velomobile can replace 

a car, offering cargo space, weather protection, better aerodynamics and
higher speed than 

an ordinary bicycle. People need more physical exercise for health care
reasons, to stay or 

to become fit, to improve quality of life. A velomobile is a comfortable
and secure means to 

get training.

The velomobile doesn?t increase greenhouse-gas emissions, an issue,
which has gained 

increasing attention in the last 5 years. The United Nations (Conference
of Parties under 

UNFCCC) has called for the next Climate Conference in the first week of
December 2009. It 

will take place in the Bella Center in Copenhagen. On this occasion, let
us demonstrate the 

potential of velomobiles for an environmental friendly lifestyle.

The Velomobile Design Seminars allows to discuss many subjects, such as
social acceptance of 

velomobiles, solutions for the infrastructure, technical innovations and
design and styling.

The seminar organization invites you to present your contributions to
skills and knowledge 

necessary for further development of velomobiles.

Send your abstract (max 500 words) to:
designseminar <at> liggecykelforeningen.dk
before October 31st, 2008.

The abstracts will be reviewed by the program committee:
Dr. Andreas Fuchs (Switzerland)
M.Sc. Frederik Van De Walle (Belgium/Sweden)
Dr. Stefan Gloger (Germany)
Dr. Carl Georg Rasmussen (Denmark)
You will be informed not later than December 31st, 2008, whether your
poposal is accepted. 

If your abstract is accepted you will receive instruction for authors.
Deadline for 

submission of final paper will be August 31th , 2009. The proceedings of
