Student Awards

The Student Awards are designed to encourage students to present their work. The award will be given to a limited number (around 5) of students.

To apply for the Student Award, check off an item "Student Awards" on abstract submission and attach a letter of application with supervisor recommendation. A template file of the document can be downloaded below. The recommendation can be written either in English or Japanese. An application without supervisor recommendation will not be accepted. In addition, the applicant must be the first author of the presentation. You can also apply for the excellent presentation award, but you will not win both.

Applicants will be judged based on the submitted abstract and the letter of recommendation. The program committee will announce the winners on the website prior to the symposium (The winners will be announced no later than one month before the symposium.). Each winner will receive 30,000 JPY, which is only available to winners who attend the symposium. Note that winners must still pay the registration fee. The winners will give short oral presentations (5 min each without discussion) at the Symposium. In addition, winners will be asked to submit their manuscript to the e-JSSNT or JVSTB as a conference paper.
