GEC Student Award for Excellence
In order to recognize and encourage the important contribution students make to the Gaseous Electronics Conference, the GEC Executive Committee will recognize the best paper presented by a student with the GEC Student Award for Excellence.
Only oral presentations are eligible for this award. A nomination for the award consists of a copy of the student's abstract (plain text when submitting via email, please do NOT send raw LaTeX files) and a supporting letter from the student's advisor. Advisors may nominate only one student from their institute.
The GEC Executive Committee will review the nominations and select Student Award for Excellence finalists. Members from the GEC Executive Committee will serve as judges. Judges will attend the finalists' oral presentations and select the award recipient. The Student Award for Excellence consists of cash and a certificate to be presented during the GEC.
The GEC Executive Committee will award a US$1,000 prize for best oral presentation by a student. Their advisor must have nominated a student before being selected by GEC Executive Committee members to present and compete for the Excellence Award.
