To strengthen the focus on railway education, BaneBranchen awards the “Best Study Project” prize each year in connection with the BaneBranchen Conference. In some years, this prize may be combined with other awards depending on the projects submitted.
The prize includes a travel grant of DKK 10,000, awarded to the participants behind the project.
The winning project is selected by an evaluation committee consisting of members of BaneBranchen’s board and members of the association.
If you would like to be considered, please send an email to: conference@banebranchen.dk
In your email, please include a short introduction about yourself, including where you studied, and attach the project you would like the committee to evaluate.
By participating, you accept that BaneBranchen may publish a short description of you and your project if you receive an award.
The submission deadline is 15 April 2026.
