Transportation Research Symposium 2025
25-28 May 2025| Postillion Hotel, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
The Transportation Research Symposium (TRS) will give you an outstanding opportunity to interact with the editors of many of the most important journals in the transportation field, to learn about current research, and to present your own work to expert audiences.
Elsevier’s Transportation Research (TR) family of journals covers scientific and practical aspects of transportation research. TRS is an international conference organised by the TR editors and is equally comprehensive in scope. Other Elsevier transport journal editors will organise themed sessions within TRS.
The program will include numerous ‘Meet the Editor’ sessions and other special events.
The TR journals provide the core structure of the conference. By their subject scope, they serve as ‘umbrellas’ for six broad topic areas, with the comprehensive-scope seventh (TRIP – ‘General’) serving to ensure there are no gaps. All transportation topics are in the scope of the conference and will be accommodated within an appropriate topic area, as will any special sessions run by other journals.

WCTRS Special Interest Group Part A: Transportation Pricing and Regulation
WCTRS Special Interest Group Part A: Intermodal freight transport: enhancing sustainability and competitiveness
