Deans’ Forum for Chinese Transportation Schools

The Dean’s forum was initiated in COTA conference in 2009. It is an invited-only session for the deans of College of Transportation (or equivalent institutes) to gather and discuss critical issues in education, research and development of colleges of transportation. The forum provides a platform for Chinese transportation leaders in the academic world to share best practices on transportation research and education. It is a unique platform and has become the most influential meeting which attracts the largest number of deans in transportation area.
