CTRF and Students

CTRF is committed to supporting the growth and development of the next generation of transportation sector researchers and professionals, with a focus on the Canadian transportation and logistics sector. In addition to the many students who participate in the annual CTRF Call for Papers and Conference, CTRF offers direct support to students through two targeted programs: Scholarships for Graduate Study and a Student Paper Competition.

For all competitions, CTRF encourages students to apply and submit work in either English or French.

Le GRTC encourage les étudiants à postuler et soumettre un projet de recherche soit en français ou en Anglais.
