ISIT Student Paper Award

The International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT) Student Paper Award shall be given annually for up to three outstanding papers at the ISIT for which a student is the principal author and presenter. This author must be a registered student at the time of paper submission to be eligible for this award. The criteria for the award shall include both content and presentation. The award consists of a $500 honorarium to be divided equally between all student authors of the paper, and a plaque for each such author.

The Awards Committee (AC) shall be responsible for selecting the winner(s) of this award, with the support of the ISIT Technical Program Committee (TPC). The ISIT TPC shall select between 8 and 12 eligible papers as finalists and notify the authors accordingly. These papers shall be scheduled by the TPC for presentation during the first three days of ISIT. The AC shall judge the presentations during the Symposium, select the award winner(s), and announce the winner(s) at the ISIT banquet (or other suitable occasion).
