The Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation (HKSR) is proud to announce that the 12th International Conference on Mobility and Transport for Elderly and Disabled Persons (TRANSED 2010) will take place in Hong Kong in 2010.

The theme of TRANSED 2010 is “Sustainable Transport & Travel for All”.

Held every three years, TRANSED conferences are milestone events in the field of accessible transportation, attracting researchers, policy-makers, transport operators, consumers and other specialists worldwide to share innovations and best practices in order to make transportation and mobility accessible to everyone.

This event is hosted by The Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation. Past TRANSED and TRANSED 2010 are co-sponsored by U.S. Transportation Research Board. The objectives are:

1. to review the advances in research and profile of international breakthroughs, and
2. to explore perspectives for technological innovations in response to the challenges of an ageing population and of persons with disabilities in mobility and also the development of accessible travel.

The conference will be held in two official languages: English and Chinese.
