The Italian Chapter of the IEEE ITS Society has been officially approved in February 2021 and its main objective is to gather all researchers working in Italy, both in academic institutions and in the industry, in the broad area of Intelligent Transportation Systems. The Italian Chapter of the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society represents an important opportunity for Italian researchers to meet, to share new ideas for projects and collaborations, to promote common actions for both education and research, to discuss the possibilities to spread the knowledge of the ITS community to other scientific communities and to local/regional/national/international institutions and companies, as well as to involve (high school, Master and Ph.D.) students in learning initiatives in the area of Intelligent Transportation Systems.

Along this line, the IEEE ITS Italian Chapter has decided to create, starting from 2021, the Best Ph.D. Dissertation Award for the best dissertation in any ITS area that is innovative and relevant to practice. This award is established to encourage doctoral research that combines theory and practice, makes in-depth technical contributions, or is interdisciplinary in nature, having the potential to contribute to the ITS area and broaden the ITS topics from either the methodological or application perspectives.
