Public Transport Conference  - SITCE Singapore

 
 
Call for Papers
 
Thank you for your submissions. The call for papers is now closed. If you have any enquiries, please contact SITCE Secretariat at [email protected]
 
The presentations will be delivered to an audience of transport professionals and policy officials rather than only researchers. The SITCE 2013 Programme and Congress Committee encourages the submission of papers which review developments over recent years and present consolidated experience. Theoretical discussions, not accompanied by practical examples, will therefore be avoided, and the focus will be on assessing policies and actions of practical value for transport decision-makers.

Papers must be original: texts already published or presented in public will be accepted only if they refer to new developments. Commercial texts promoting particular products will not be accepted.

Papers will be selected on the basis of the abstracts, the curriculum vitae and the experience of the candidates in addressing large audiences at international events. Accepted speakers will get to register for the event at a concessionary fee but are to be fully responsible for their travel and accommodation arrangements.
