DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 31 MAY
The 8th FISITA Student Congress runs parallel to the main congress from 23 to 26 October and gives students from all over the world a unique opportunity to participate in this international conference and to present their own papers on automotive transportation and technologies.
Participants in the Student Congress are free to attend the Plenary Sessions of the main congress and will have their own technical sessions in the afternoons. Students are encouraged to present a paper, therefore priority will be given to students who submit an abstract with their application. The themes for the Student Congress are the same as those for the main congress:
- Powertrain Technology
- Vehicle Design and Manufacturing
- Vehicle Dynamics and Intelligent Control Systems
- Driver / Vehicle Interface, Information and Assistance Systems
- Transportation Challenges in Emerging Economies
Technical visits to automotive research institutions will also be included.
The Student Congress is open to all students at all levels of higher education. Proof of student status is required in the form of a signature of approval from a representative of a national FISITA member society or university/college.
Applications and paper abstracts (not more than 10 lines) should be submitted by email to: fisita2006@jsae.or.jp by 31 May 2006. The deadline for Final Papers is 31 July 2006. The organising committee will select a limited number of participants and inform applicants of their decision by mid-June. Awards will be presented for the best three papers at the Closing Ceremony of the main congress.
The registration fee for the Student Congress is 15,000 yen. This includes accommodation, all activities that are planned for the Student Congress, and admission to certain main congress events. Transport costs to and from Yokohama must be covered by the participant or their national member society.
