The IEEE Student Branch Klagenfurt holds its first Student Paper Contest. The students (not including PhD students) of our faculty received the following mail to incourage them to participate in the call. They have the chance to win prizes sponsored by the TEWI Förderverin and to qualify for the IEEE Region 8 contest where they have the chance to present their paper at MELECON 2014. We ask you to encourage and motivate your students to participate in this call. This is a great opportunity for students to take first steps towards a scientific career, to improve their writing skills and get valuable feedback on their work from our reviewers.
Our thanks go to our future reviewers including:
- Laszlo Böszörmenyi (AAU)
- Hermann Hellwagner (AAU)
- Angelika Wiegele (AAU)
- Anita Sobe (University of Neuchatel)
The IEEE Student Branch Klagenfurt invites students to submit their Bachelor/Master Thesis or research project in the form of a scientific paper. You have the chance to win prizes and present your work to fellow students. Further, the winning paper of our contest is nominated for the IEEE Region 8 paper contest. The authors of the best papers submitted to the IEEE Region 8 get to present their paper at the MELECON 2014 with the possibility of having all expenses covered by the IEEE.
We highly encourage you to participate in this contest. Besides the chance to win prize money you get the chance to improve your writing skills, get valuable feedback on your work from professors and post docs of our faculty and make first steps towards a scientific career after graduation. If you are interested to participate, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will assist you in selecting a topic and writing the paper. You are encouraged to team up with other students to jointly write the paper. Please note that PhD students cannot participate in this contest! If you have any questions or need support, please contact us.
Who could participate?
IEEE Region 8 Student Paper Contest is for IEEE R8 student members or graduate student members who have not yet started their PhD. Only IEEE R8 student members could be authors of the IEEE R8 SPC papers. Professors-mentors and other associates can not be SPC authors (but their names could be acknowledged in the FINAL versions of the papers). Each student author must be a member of an IEEE Student Branch at the time of the original submission of the paper to the Branch Contest, and a member (student or not) of the IEEE at the time of the R8 Oral Finals presentation. The work presented has to be completed before the student receives the engineering degree that entitles him/her to start preparing a doctoral thesis. The submission of the paper to the Region 8 SPC must be completed within 12 months after graduation. A doctoral thesis is not considered. Published work is excluded from the contest.
Character of the Paper
Papers should cover technical and engineering aspects of a subject reasonably within or related to the areas with which the IEEE is concerned with. The work need not be original in engineering content, but should be original in treatment and concise in coverage of the author’s contribution. Papers should be written in English language and
not exceed six pages.
