The 2025 American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Geographic Information Systems for Transportation (GIS-T) Symposium will be held from April 7-10, 2025 in Portland, OR. Once again, the symposium will feature a Student Research Contest. College GIS students with an interest in transportation applications of GIS are encouraged to submit their research in the form of a paper to the GIS-T Symposium's Student Paper review panel. The contest is designed to encourage university students to develop solutions to current GIS-T issues.

Contestants' submissions will be judged on their ability to develop and document useful, original research based on GIS-T issues and on their ability to present their results in a complete, clear, and well-referenced paper. The winner will receive complementary registration to the 2025 GIS-T Symposium to present their paper as well as paid travel expenses and 4 nights' lodging.

We encourage you to circulate this notice to students who may be interested in submitting a paper.  The submission deadline is December 20, 2024. Selection of the winner will be made by January 2025. Student presentation submissions, or questions, should be directed to: Dr. Kweku Brown.

Thanks for your consideration!
