HKSTS OUTSTANDING DISSERTATION PAPER AWARD
To advance transportation research, 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 approximately). 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 2012. The applicant must be the first author of the paper. The full paper must not have been submitted for publication or published elsewhere.
The awardee is expected to present his/her paper and receive the Award and Prize at the 17th HKSTS International Conference. The registration fee for the Conference will be waived. No more than one award shall be conferred 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 also be published in the journal, Transportmetrica; see www.transportmetrica.org.
