Student Award
The 1500 Euro SID-ME Chapter Best Student Award is granted yearly for an outstanding scientific or technical contribution to research on information display. The applicant must be a student (up to and including PhD student) when the work is performed and must be a member or student member of the SID-ME Chapter when the application is submitted. See this page for more information about (student) membership. Please note the very low price ($5) for student membership.
To participate, submit your abstract to the Chapter Meeting where the award will be granted and indicate that you want to participate in the competition. The applicant must be the first author of the submitted abstract and must personally present the work at the Chapter Meeting where the award ceremony will take place. If the first 2 authors are students and members, the prize can be shared between those 2 students. In that case, notify the award committee (see below) well in advance of the Chapter Meeting.
