The 9th Young Researchers’ Seminar will be held from  June 5 – 7, 2019 in Thessaloniki, Greece and will be hosted by the Hellenic Institute of Transport (HIT).                   

The Seminar is supported by:
ECTRI (European Conference of Transport Research Institutes) ;
FEHRL (Forum of European National Highway Research Laboratories) ;
FERSI (Forum of European Road Safety Research Institutes) 

The Young Researchers’ Seminar is organised every two years in a different European country. The common vision for the Seminar is the preparation of a new generation of transport scientists and science based professionals in the area of transport.
The objectives are:

• To enable the networking of young transport researchers belonging to the Supporting Organizations Members, ECTRI, FEHRL, FERSI and from United States’ Universities*.

• To train young researchers, by tutorial means through a retroactive manner, to elaborate, prepare papers and present oral scientific communications.

Therefore, this Seminar is not only aimed at scientific excellence, but also at presentation skills and the ability to put science into practice.

* Since 2007, thanks to the Memorandum of Understanding between ECTRI and the Transportation Research Board from the United States, participation to the Seminar has been opened to young researchers and tutors from the US Universities.

This Seminar is supported by the SKILLFUL project which has received funding by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 723989.
