HKSTS OUTSTANDING DISSERTATION PAPER AWARD
HKSTS established the HKSTS Outstanding Dissertation Paper Award (hereafter, the Award) in 2005 to promote transportation research and education in Asia, as well as the Society's own journals. The Award offers a prize of HK$10,000 (US$1=HK$7.8 approximately). The Gordon Newell Memorial Prize (hereafter, the Prize) is dedicated to the late Professor Gordon Newell of the University of California at Berkeley in recognition of his significant contributions to scientific research and education in traffic and transportation theories. PhD graduates who are citizens of an Asian country and who have completed their PhD studies within three years of the HKSTS Conference at which the Award is granted, are eligible to apply. An applicant 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 2016. The applicant must be the first author of the paper. The full paper must not have been submitted for publication or published elsewhere except for HKSTS journals.
The awardee is expected to present his/her paper and receive a certificate of the Award and the Prize at the 21st HKSTS International Conference. The registration fee for the Conference will be waived. Only one Award shall be issued each year. Should no suitable candidate qualify for the Award in a particular year, the Award Committee reserves the right not to grant an Award. The awardee's paper will be published in the recommended HKSTS journal, if the paper has not been published.
