Key Features

STAR 2019 will focus on results of research, good practice and practical issues of implementation that are relevant to Scottish transport policy, infrastructure delivery and transport provision.

The Conference will provide an opportunity to learn about new and emerging practice in transport in Scotland in an informal yet informative setting and will allow participants to help shape the Scottish transport agenda.

A further major benefit of the conference will be the opportunity to network and the timetable for the day is structured to offer delegates additional opportunities to interact, including a wine reception at the end of the event.

See the draft programme opposite for full details of what to expect at STAR 2019.

AudienceSTAR offers an opportunity unique in Scotland to exchange knowledge and good practice.

The conference is aimed at everyone engaged in any aspect of transport including policies and strategies, research, strategic planning, development and appraisal, design, implementation and evaluation, maintenance, operations and management of services and projects. It will therefore be of value to everyone interested in transport issues.

Join us at Scotland’s only fully multi-disciplinary Transport Conference.

Venue The Conference will be held in the Hamish Wood Building of Glasgow Caledonian University.
