The Society has established and sponsored the HKSTS Outstanding Student Paper Award since 2003. Postgraduate students who fulfill the requirements are welcome to apply.

The HKSTS Outstanding Student Paper Award subcommittee will short-list not more than three student papers for a special session of the 10th HKSTS International Conference. A prize presentation will be held on the same day. HKSTS reserves the right not to award any prize should members of the Award Committee consider the quality of submissions or the performances of the candidates at the presentations to be unsatisfactory. Decisions of the award subcommittee shall be final.

The winner will be awarded a medal and a prize of HK$2,000. The first and the second runner-up will be awarded a certificate of merit for their excellence in research. The three short-listed papers will also be considered for publication in the journal: Transportmetrica.
