@Tupp_Ed Where is this meeting in TCD?

Can you believe it? Forty years ago today, on 1st March 1972, a new product - the InterRail pass - was introduced on a temporary basis to allow young people travel Europe.

It was so popular, it's still with us today. Initially, it covered 20 countries, and was limited to under 21s.  Today it covers 30 countries, some of which didn't exist back in 1972, and is open to all ages - though the under 26s still get it for less! 

More than 248,000 rail travellers across Europe bought a pass in 2011.  InterRail passes today start at €175 for 30 countries, and full information is available through our National Customer Information Centre at 1850 366 222 (option 7) or through our appointed sales agent USIT – online sales and product information is available at www.usit.ie/interrail

Thinking of forty years of InterRail has got us all nostalgic: the thrill of standing at a station in Europe and deciding where to go next; going to sleep in one city, waking up at the crack of dawn in another; the days of the Iron Curtain and pre-Schengen agreements, when crossing borders meant constant stern immigration checks; and and even being robbed on the Berlin to Krakow overnight, a shock which gave way to great memories of a fellow passenger, with no language in common, sharing his vodka to commiserate!

We'd love to hear your InterRail memories and wishes - comment below on trips you've taken, and dream InterRails you still want to do.  We've a free InterRail pass* up for grabs for our favourite - time to ride the rails again!

 

The following is a cut n paste from an email I received: Call for book proposals CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGIES IN HIGHER EDUCATION series Book proposals for inclusion in the series Cutting-edge Technologies in Higher Education are solicited. We hope you will consider submitting one. Editorial Objectives The objective of this series is to provide new research on important emerging technologies in higher education, including both teaching and administrative applications from a variety of methodological approaches. The series encompasses both theoretical and empirical developments and provides evidence from a range of disciplines throughout the world. It seeks to reflect on and shape current higher educational policies and practices regarding new technologies. Topicality The ability to identify and exploit new technologies in higher education is increasingly important as competitive and cost factors are impacted in an increasingly globalized arena. Today’s learners are digital natives who thrive in technologically mediated environments and interfaces. Organizations in the second decade of the 21st century are increasingly flat without the top-down structure of the past. Per force, they require staff who are adept in new modes of technology-supported collaboration. This series endeavors to assist higher educational institutions to stay on the cutting-edge of technological innovation. More details are available at: http://www.emeraldinsight.com/products/books/series.htm?id=2044-9968 . To discuss a book concept you can contact Charles Wankel, the series editor, at wankelc@stjohns.edu , Skype: mgtprof , or phone: 1-908-218-5646. Submission of a book proposal should use the attached form, perhaps saved as a PDF. It should be sent to both Charles Wankel wankelc@stjohns.edu and Chris Hart (Emerald Education Editor) chart@emeraldinsight.com . Best regards, Charles Wankel St. John’s University, New York
