Call for Papers
“Aviation Student Research Workshop” in Amsterdam and
Hamburg Prize in Aviation Economics and Management
We are happy to have the cooperation of the Amsterdam School of Technology -
University of Applied Sciences, Amsterdam and the University of Applied Sciences,
Bremen to organize the annual G.A.R.S. junior researchers’ workshop. This year’s
workshop will take place in Amsterdam.
We are also pleased to announce Hamburg Airport is kindly offering a prize for the
best paper. The winner will be invited to next year’s Hamburg Aviation Conference to
receive the Hamburg Prize in Aviation Economics and Management.
Subject
Crises in Aviation, Expansion and Evolution of Low Cost Carriers, Slots, Airport and
Airway Congestion, Sustainability, Liberalization and Privatization, environment… The
list of hot topics in aviation is long and is attracting a growing number of students
whose primary research interest is in aviation. Often these researchers lack contact
with other students in their field of research. G.A.R.S. invites all Bachelor, Master,
Diploma or PhD students to present their work in the second workshop on research in
aviation. The research seminar is open to all topics in the field of aviation economics
and management. Interdisciplinary research is encouraged. A senior researcher will
be selected to provide three to six pages of written comments on student papers
which are submitted by the due date. As research is always work in progress, we
encourage people to present their work at any stage. This will provide valuable
feedback as well as opportunities for new sources of information.
