ELEVATE is holding #online #workshops on #ebikes & #ecargobikes, focused on finance & access to these types of #emicromobility

Flier below for more info & register your interest in attending with this form: forms.office.com/e/FZ8AXCfnS3

Feel free to share with anyone interested! 🚲

Black background with teal and white text.
Large title at the top:
"E-(Cargo) Bikes: Finance & Access Workshops" (teal, bold text).

Below, in a teal rectangular outline box:
White text reads:
"The ELEVATE research project is hosting two online workshops to explore the following",
followed by a bulleted list in white text:

Does simply increasing access to cycles increase cycling?

Is affordability a ‘real’ barrier to (optimal) cycle ownership?

Are financial incentives effective in encouraging cycling?

Are leasing schemes popular and financially viable?

What is the scope for increasing bike share schemes?

What are the policy priorities for local and central Government?

Below the box, two sections side by side:
Left side:
An icon of a calendar with "MAY" in teal at the top and "14th" inside.
Next to it:
"Online Workshop 1 10.00-11.30am:" (bold text),
"Stakeholder Presentations on Current Evidence & Existing Schemes" (normal text).

Right side:
A second calendar icon, same style, with "MAY" and "21st" inside.
Next to it:
"Online Workshop 2 10.00-11.30am:" (bold text),
"Discussion on Policy Priorities and Pathways to Impact" (normal text).

The overall style is clean, professional, and minimalistic with teal accents.

A promotional graphic for a new ELEVATE blog post. The text at the top reads: 'New ELEVATE blog! Does a ride with an e-cargo bike count as physical activity?' Below this, there is a photograph of two people standing outside a modern brick building with glass doors, holding e-cargo bikes. They are both smiling, and the bikes are equipped with cargo racks and bags. To the right of the image, additional text states: 'ELEVATE research project supervises ITS MSc Dissertation, 4 min read.' At the bottom, a hyperlink is provided: 'https://blogs.brighton.ac.uk/elevate/blog/' The background is black, with white text and megaphone icons on either side of the title

A sad time for #archaeology. Rest in Peace John Barrett. You made archaeology a better discipline & cared so much about its students. From attending SAA’s in 2018 to having you as my PhD supervisor— you truly changed my life for the better & I’ll be forever grateful.
