Best Student Paper Award

The best student paper, as judged by the APCCM Program Committee, will receive an award of AU$ 500.- sponsored by CORE, Australia. However, the best student paper award is given only if at least five student papers are accepted at APCCM.

Papers are counted as student papers, if the major contribution is due to a student author, who must be the first author of the paper. The student should present the paper at the conference. Others (such as the student's supervisor) can present the paper on the student's behalf only under extreme circumstances.
Authors have to indicate to the program committee at the time of submission that their paper is to be classified as a student paper. It is OK to have the supervisor(s) as co-author(s). The supervisor or the Head of Department must sign a statement to verify that the principal author is a student at the time of submission (this letter must be sent to the APCCM PC Chairs).
