EAPLS PhD Award 2014: Call for Nominations ==========================================

URL: http://eapls.org/pages/phd_award/

The European Association for Programming Languages and Systems has established a Best Dissertation Award in the international research area of programming languages and systems. The award will go to the PhD student who in the previous period has made the most original and influential contribution to the area. The purpose of the award is to draw attention to excellent work, to help the career of the student in question, and to promote the research field as a whole.

Eligibility

-----------

Eligible for the award are those who successfully defended their PhD

* at an academic institution in Europe

* in the field of Programming Languages and Systems

* in the period from 1 November 2013 – 31 December 2014

Nominations

-----------

Candidates for the award must be nominated by their supervisor.

Nominating a candidate consists of submitting the thesis to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eaplsphd2014. The nomination must be accompanied by (a zip file containing)

* a letter from the supervisor describing why the thesis should be

considered for the award;

* a report from an independent researcher who has acted as examiner

   of the thesis at its defense.

The theses will be evaluated with respect to originality, influence, relevance to the field and (to a lesser degree) quality of writing.

Procedure

---------

The nominations will be evaluated and compared by an international committee of experts from across Europe. The procedure to be followed is analogous to the review phase of a conference. The justification by the supervisor and the external report will play an important role in the evaluation.

Members of the expert committee are barred from nominating their own PhD students for the award.

The award consists of a certificate announcing the winner to have received the EAPLS PhD award 2014. The supervisor will receive a copy of this certificate. If possible, the certificate will be handed out ceremonially at a suitable occasion, as for instance the ETAPS conference.

Apart from the winner, no further ranking of nominees will be published. The decision of the expert committee is final and binding, and will not be subject to discussion.

31 March 2015: Deadline for nominations
