HKSTS OUTSTANDING DISSERTATION PAPER AWARD
To foster excellence in transportation research and practice, stimulate professional interchange in transportation, and provide a forum for exchanging ideas on transportation developments, the Society established the HKSTS Outstanding Dissertation Paper Award (hereafter, the Award). The Award includes the Gordon Newell Memorial Prize (hereafter, the Prize) of HK$10,000 (US$1=HK$7.8). A PhD recipient, who is a citizen of an Asian country, should submit his/her PhD dissertation, together with a full paper that is based on the dissertation, and a certificate from the university confirming the award of a PhD degree, to the Award Committee by 31 March 2005. The applicant must be the first author of the paper, and the full paper must not have been submitted for publication or published elsewhere. Further details of the Award can be found at the society website (http://www.hksts.org).
The awardee will present his/her paper and receive the Award and Prize at the 10th HKSTS International Conference. The registration fee for the 10th HKSTS International Conference will be waived. The awardee's paper will also be published in the journal, Transportmetrica (http://www.transportmetrica.org). Each year, no more than one Award shall be issued. Should no suitable candidate qualify for the award in a particular year, the Award Committee reserves the right not to grant an award.
