Student paper finalists have been announced!
This is the 20th year of the student paper competition which was initiated at the 2001 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. The award consists of a certificate and represents a prestigious recognition of the student’s achievement. Students who are submitting abstracts for presentation are also invited to participate in this Student Paper Competition (see “Requirements” below for conditions).
Abstracts submitted by students for the Student Paper Competition will be reviewed as usual by the Technical Program Committee (TPC). At that time the TPC will select 18 finalists (6 from Group I, and 3 from each of Groups II to V) for the Student Paper Competition (roughly in proportion to the number of student abstracts submitted in each group). The finalists will be notified and asked to produce an ePoster of their papers to be displayed during a special student poster session in the virtual platform. All finalists will receive travel support to help them to attend the conference, if they wish to attend onsite. At the time of registration, the finalist is required to be a registered member of IEEE and UFFC.
The poster is required independent of whether the student’s paper has been selected as an oral presentation. The students should check the guidelines for poster presentation for the preparations of their ePosters. All Student Finalist Posters will be presented in a special section for judging by a panel of judges representing the paper’s technical group.
Six awards will be given.
