FQA |
| Q1: |
What are the qualifications required to participate in the IATSS Forum program?
|
| Q2: |
I am currently studying at graduate school while working. Do I have the proper qualification requirements?
|
| Q3: |
From what points of view does IATSS Forum do the screenings?
|
| Q4: |
I am Malaysian, and living in Singapore at the moment. Which country committee should I apply to, Malaysia or Singapore?
|
| Q5: |
As IATSS Forum is organized by IATSS (International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences), do the contents of the program only focus on traffic related issues or any specific field?
|
| Q6: |
I have heard that, at the IATSS Forum, there are no tests to complete the program, nor is there a declaration of ranking regarding the participants’ performances. Why is that? In that case, will no one be evaluating or giving advice for improvement? Will the performance of the participants not be reported to their supervisors?
|
| Q7: |
I would like to participate in the spring forum on the grounds that I will be involved in a project at my company during the autumn period.
|
| Q8: |
After completing the IATSS Forum program, I would like to visit some places before leaving Japan; may I have permission to do so?
|
| Q9: |
On the way back home from Japan, may I drop by some other countries? Of course, I do not mind paying necessary expenses?
|
| Q10: |
Who bears the expenses related to the IATSS Forum program?
