About Us

The foundation Fondazione Università degli Studi di Trieste (FUST) was originated in 2023 from the merger of the pre-existing Foundations "Fondazione Aldo Duca", "Fondazione Guido Morpurgo Tagliabue" and "Fondazione Ing. Marcello Urban e Maria Ehrl", founded respectively in 1986, 1999 and 2006.

Just like the foundations it originates from, the FUST Foundation mainly aims to promote education and research in various scientific fields through the dissemination of knowledge and the development of both humanistic and scientific research - with a particular focus on new technologies and experimentation.

More specifically, the Foundation grants study awards to students and new graduates, and funds scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students, PhDs, master students, students of post-graduate specialisation courses and research grants.

Founded in 1995 as a quarterly printed journal on Economics, Engineering and Transport Law, and successively transformed into an online journal in 2013, the international specialised journal "European Transport" aims to promote and disseminate new ideas that might contribute to sustainability in the field of transportation systems.
 

As regards to the contents of the journal, the main areas of interests are the mobility of people and goods, and the conomical, engineering and geographical aspects of transportation - be it on roads, on rails, by sea or by air - and their interactions.

The journal collects the scientific contributions by scholars and specialists from both Italy and the rest of the world, as long as they are written in English, and a portion is reserved for topics concerning the Region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
