Leading transport consultancy and research firm to recognize UAE's smartest students and their proposals for sustainable traffic solutions at 224 Gulf Traffic 2016
The UK-based Transport Research Laboratory (777 TRL) has set up the TRL Student Award in the United Arab Emirates.
The initiative will award some of the country’s top student minds for their proposals of innovative and sustainable transport solutions in a special awards ceremony on the sidelines of Gulf Traffic 2016, which will be held from 13th to 15th November, at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
Serving as the knowledge partner of the event, TRL said that it wants to encourage new blood into the transport domain and recognise fresh and creative thinking by future professionals.
According to TRL, sustainable transport solutions are crucially important for dynamic and expanding countries such as the UAE, in order to enable the transport of people and goods in the context of work, education and leisure in a way that is sustainable in both the social and environmental sense.
With this in mind, the TRL Student Award will generate ideas from students for transport solutions that promote socially and environmentally friendly modes of transport, aiding the government’s drive toward a fully sustainable, smart city.
‘Sustainable Transport’ means that different academic disciplines can participate and provide new perspectives and fresh ideas. “TRL is at the forefront of the future of transport and cutting edge of transport science,” said Dr Britta Lang, TRL’s country director for the UAE.
“We decided to launch the ‘TRL Student Award’ to serve as a platform for showcasing innovation, opening up another avenue to demonstrate how ideas from today’s youth can bring the future of transport to life.”
