ICOPS has a long running tradition of honouring the best student papers presented at the conference. We build on this foundation to encourage more to participate in the conference and further celebrating those who are the future of our research field.

This year we will be holding an open session for the student awards over an extended lunch break, with 15 min oral presentations from the finalists open to all to see and we especially encourage their supervisors and peers to attend for support.

To qualify for consideration the student must identify their interest for inclusion on registration of their abstract. Their supervisor will then be asked to send a supporting statement by March 15, 2024 through our online submissions system https://eventclass.it/icops2024/award-application/advisory-form. The token will be sent by system email to both applicants and their advisors’ email. If there are any problems please contact the student awards coordinator (lin_wu@sutd.edu.sg and myfz@263.net) for help. Any student who is the principal author/researcher and presents at the conference is eligible to apply. The work presented should be the majority work of the student and will be judged on grounds of originality, value to the community, and delivery.
