ITS-Davis Wins World Technology Award

The UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies was selected as a finalist in the World Technology Network's 2003 World Technology Award in the corporate energy category. ITS-Davis Director Dan Sperling attended the awards ceremony recently in San Francisco.

The annual awards honor individuals and corporations from 20 technology-related sectors. A panel of current network members recognizes the winners as innovators who are doing work of the greatest likely long-term significance. Award categories range from biotechnology, space and energy to ethics, design and entertainment.

The awards are presented by the World Technology Network in association with NASDAQ, Accenture, Microsoft and others.

Headquartered in London, the World Technology Network was created to "encourage serendipity" -- happy accidents -- among those individuals and companies deemed by their peers to be the most innovative in the technology world.
