From the outset, ATRANS has organized two core academic activities: the ATRANS Symposium and the ATRANS Student Chapter, which is a supplementary program attached to the symposium.

> ATRANS Symposium: Held annually in August, the ATRANS Symposium brings together distinguished speakers from renowned organizations to deliver keynote lectures. The first symposium was launched in 2008, coinciding with ATRANS's grand opening.

> ATRANS Student Chapter: Introduced in 2009, this program is an affiliated component of the symposium. It welcomes students who are eager to gain experience in academic activities and build professional networks beyond their home universities.

> Essay and Painting Competition: To promote student participation in exploring transportation world, ATRANS invites primary, secondary and high-school students to send their written essay / painting works to win the ATRANS prizes which are worthwhile to challenge

ATRANS organizes a symposium annually as part of its academic support activities. In April 2009, ATRANS introduced a supplementary program to the symposium, known as the ATRANS Student Chapter Session.

The ATRANS Student Chapter aims to provide students with opportunities to connect, exchange ideas and opinions, share information, and engage in academic activities by organizing the Student Chapter Session—an affiliated program of the ATRANS Symposium. This initiative offers students a valuable chance to gain hands-on experience, from event preparation and academic paper review to evaluation and the publication of proceedings under... the close supervision of ATRANS advisory members.

Furthermore, the activity fosters networking among students from various universities and multidisciplinary fields. Most importantly, students gain meaningful experiences and develop essential social skills—crucial elements for capacity building and human resource development. Participation in the Student Chapter is entirely on a voluntary basis.

ATRANS Young Researcher's Forum (AYRF) Internship/Fellowship Program is fully funded by the Asian Transportation Research Society (ATRANS) and now offers the opportunity to intern for eight weeks (2 months) with professionals for the ATRANS Annual Conference: Young Researcher’s Forum.

We are seeking university students or young researchers who have demonstrated a strong commitment to social engagement and are eager to participate in a program designed to foster personal growth, professional development, and leadership skills.
