In support of National Road Safety Week, the NSW Chapter proudly presents the second annual PhD Invitational, established in honour of Dr Prasannah Prabhakharan (1986-2025), an esteemed colleague, road safety expert, and a cherished member of the Australasian College of Road Safety (ACRS).

Selected PhD candidates will present on their fields of study relating to road safety, in simulated conference conditions.

The recipient of the 2026 Dr Prasannah Prabakharan Scholarship (DPPS) will also be announced. Supported by the NRMA, the DPPS is a scholarship for a regional NSW-based early career road safety professional to attend the Australasian Road Safety Conference.

Arrive from 5:30pm for a 6pm start. Light refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the PhD Invitational (after 7pm).

ACRS is grateful to UNSW School of Aviation for their assistance in this offering event.
