———————————————
– A young researcher competition with the goal of stimulating the interest among young researchers/ students in the field of sustainable surface transport.
– A competition for senior researchers in the field of innovative surface transport concepts based on results only from EU-funded projects.

The objectives to be achieved by the TRA Visions project are:
– To achieve a strong participation of young transportation researchers in the TRA-2018 conference;
– To identify the top performing young researchers in all modes of surface transportation and acknowledge their achievement;
– To have strong participation from senior researchers in transportation in the TRA-2018 conference
– To identify champions of transport research in EU funded projects
– To further develop the TRA conference as the premier series in its field in the world,
– To achieve good coordination with the TRA conference organisers in order to benefit from high level of media coverage.
– To build a vibrant community of young transport researchers in the European Union, EU candidate and potential candidate countries and the European Economic Area;
– To promote and acknowledge excellence in research at senior level
– To promote an inter-disciplinary approach, linking basic science, socio-economics and applied sciences/engineering;
– To stimulate the imagination of delegates at the TRA-2018 conference and provoke discussion on the future of surface transport;
– To promote interaction between young transport researchers and senior researchers working in different modes.
