The
IVEC Best Student Paper Award was introduced at IVEC 2004 to recognize
and promote exceptional student contributions to the field.
IVEC 2021 will continue the tradition of selecting an outstanding, student-authored and student-presented paper for the honour of "Best Student Paper Award". Eligible papers are those with a student as the principle author and presenter. Students are considered as individuals pursuing a baccalaureate or graduate degree at the time of the conference or during the past year when the work was completed. After ranking by the Technical Program Committee, four to six student papers are selected for finalist consideration. Finalist students will present a 10 minute synopsis talk on their work in a special session during the conference, and from these brief summary talks a winner will be selected. The award will include a certificate and a 500 US Dollar check Best
