Student Awards

CILT is seeking nominations from Irish Universities to showcase the best of the sector. Being such a wide variety of functions available to our sector, we are not prescriptive in the focal area of the research or study, but do ask that the student be undertaking a qualification related to the field of Transport, Logistics and/or Supply Chain Management.  


CILT is seeking student nominees that demonstrate pursuit of professional standards and development, on their own part and as representatives of their educational institution. 

Each College or University can enter one candidate at each level.
