The InterPore Journal Invited Student Paper Award is an award which is given in recognition of excellence in student presentations at the InterPore Annual Meeting & the research culminating in a published paper. Each year, during the annual InterPore Conference, the minisymposia moderators for each session will nominate the best presentation from their session for this award. To express interest in this, candidates are required to self-nominate when submitting their abstract to the conference.

Eligibility

To be eligible for this award, you must be a student at the time of abstract submission, and give a presentation at the meeting. The presentation given can be in any of the following formats: poster, oral presentation, or online presentation. It goes without saying that this work must represent an original work of the student submitting the abstract.

Topics

All topics relevant to the mission of InterPore and to the study of flow in porous media, broadly defined, will be eligible for this student award.

How to sign up

All registered students who have a poster presentation are eligible to be considered for this award. To sign up, you must indicate during abstract submission that you wish to be considered for this award. 

Selection procedure & Criteria

The minisymposia conveners for each minisymposia may nominate students for this award after all presentations have been completed. The following criteria will be considered: 

• Scientific merit and impact of the work
• Originality of the work presented
• Clarity of presentation. 

Following nomination, the Editors of InterPore Journal will ask all nominees to write a one to two-page synopsis of their work. This synopsis will be evaluated by the Editors and up to eight nominees will be chosen as award recipients. 

The eight selected nominees will be asked to write a full paper and submit to InterPore Journal for publication consideration. Upon successful completion of the peer-review process and publication of the work, the author of each accepted paper will receive the “Best Student Paper Award”. The papers will appear as Invited Papers in InterPore Journal.

What is the actual Award?

Winners will be recognized at the next Annual Conference during an Award Ceremony, at which point they will be presented with a certificate confirming this award. Furthermore, information on the winners will be included on the InterPore and InterPore Journal websites as well as on all social media channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, WeChat).
