FSR proposal
Renewed proposal on staff courses (training or workshops)
from Torino (SG-comments and suggestions): 4 years
Programme, once a year 2 days training
Proposal ((with regard to the current state of play):
a) take up preparation of a pilot (preferably with FSR) aiming both at
staff and PTA’s-management, with a specific focus to European and
transport Regulations, policies (‘acquis communautaire’
b) EMTA can gear with renowned scholars & training methods of other
organisazations( (check on UITP, Erasmus Univ. Rotterdam, Politecnica
Torino) to acquire proper level of knowledge, in an economic and
didacticly viable manner.
Next step: contact EUR, Torino and FSR (prof. M. Finger) on final concept
programma. Start launch pilot: Autumn 2013 ?
Please give us some comments and experiences.
