CREW and “Greening Events”
Soon CREW software will be extended to support more event administration functionality, specifically with the goal of allowing event organisers to plan a “greener” event. Features to be added include an automated way to put event delegates in touch with each other (where permission is given) ahead of an event – in order that they may make voluntary shared travel choices, a “calculator” to help event organisers to estimate the carbon footprint of their planned event and a way to link delegates easily to mobile-accessible software (based on Bristol’s Mobile Campus Assistant), to help them on route.
For more information see Bristol University’s JISC-funded Greening Events project, which will develop CREW as part of a prototype toolkit for event organisers during 2010.
