Student Paper Competition
CARSP, and more specifically the CARSP Young Professionals' Committee, hosts an annual competition for a scientific paper, written by a student registered at a Canadian university, on any aspect of motor vehicle traffic safety. For several years, and ending in 2017, the competition was sponsored by the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC). CARSP is very grateful for IBC's support. Unfortunately, there was no competition in 2018 due to lack of a sponsor. Western Ergonomics graciously sponsored the 2019 Student Paper Competition and helped us to continue this legacy.
Starting in 2019 CARSP's Young Professionals' Committee, with CARSP funding, added a Student Poster Competition. Awards are given to the top posters prepared by a student registered at a Canadian university, on any aspect of motor vehicle traffic safety. CARSP plans to offer this competition on an annual basis indefinitely.
If you are interested in sponsoring one of these competitions, please contact info@carsp.ca for more information.
