to young scientists in European Transport Sciences

 

 

 

For the 5th consecutive time the European Platform of Transport Sciences

awards a prize dedicated to young transport researchers. The prize is

named “European Frie-drich-List-Prize” to honour the extraordinary

contributions of Friedrich List, a vision-ary of transport in Europe of

the 19th century, being a distinguished economist and respected

transport scientist committed to the European idea. The European

Frie-drich List prize is awarded for outstanding scientific papers in

each of the following categories:

 

 

 

Doctorate paper (PhD or comparable)

 

1,750 €

 

and

 

Diploma paper (Master Thesis or comparable)

 

750 €.

 

The submitted papers should address topics in the transport field within

a European context and from a European perspective, ideally making

reference and contributing to the sustainable development of elements

and modes within pan-European or cross-border transport. The subject

should be characterized by its international scope while papers

elaborating on technical matters are equally accepted as those with a

background in economics or another discipline.

 

Eligible for submission are all scientific papers accomplished not

longer than two years ago and which have not been submitted in another

award competition. Papers may be submitted by individuals or a team of

authors (up to five persons), being citizens of a country in Europe and

under forty years of age at the time of submis-sion. Recommendations may

only be made by full professors of universities or direc-tors of

research institutions. Applications by the authors themselves will not

be con-sidered. The application dossier should include:

 

1.    The full version of the paper in any European language.

2.    An executive summary of five to ten A4 pages in English language.

3.    A short CV of the author(s).

4.    Recommendations are to be verified by the professor in a statement

written in English or German language.

 

Submitted papers are evaluated by a jury composed of reputable

individuals en-gaged in transport in its European dimension.

 

The award winning papers are published in the publications of the

European Plat-form of Transport Sciences.

 

Candidates are invited to submit the papers in electronic format (*pdf

or *doc) with papers exceeding 5 MB to be made available on CD ROM.

Applications may be submitted to:

D-10117 Berlin

Application deadline: February 15th, 2008

 

 

 

The award ceremony is scheduled to take place on June 26th, 2008 at the

7th Euro-pean Transport Congress of the European Platform of Transport

Sciences, to be held in Berlin, Germany.
