YEAR2012 Judges


The role of the YEAR2012 Judges is to analyse, review, assess and grade the submitted abstracts. All submitted abstracts will be published on the website and will be subject to an on-line assessment by the judging panel. Each abstract will be reviewed and graded according to the outlined criteria. The judging panel will shortlist approximately 30 students (up to about 5 per pillar) and once agreed upon these finalists will be invited to attend the TRA2012 Conference in Athens, Greece in April 2012 to exhibit their research.

The Judges will consist of transportation experts and stakeholders involved in TRA 2012 from organisations such as ECTRI, FEHRL, ERTRAC, CEDR, EURNEX and the EC, and they may include university professors, industry experts, roads authority experts etc.

A list of the Judges will be made available nearer to the competition deadline.
