ICTEAM Thesis Award 2011

The ICTEAM Thesis Award is now open for applications. The award of 2.000 € will be granted to the best doctoral thesis that was publicly defended in 2010 and for which at least one of the co-directors is officially a member of ICTEAM (“membre affecté”).

Applications must be submitted to the ICTEAM secretariat by March 31, 2011 and include :

• a hardcopy of the doctoral thesis (+ pdf by e-mail to the secretariat - nathalie.ponet@uclouvain.be) ;
• a maximum one-page motivation letter written by the applicant in which he/she states what he/she believes to be the qualities of the thesis and the reasons why he/she should be granted the award ;
• a short CV (5 pages max) listing scientific publications by categories (journal papers, book chapters, conference proceedings) as well as patents if relevant.

Moreover, one or two supporting letters must be received at the Institute secretariat by April 15, 2011. These letters are required to be from experts outside of UCL, preferably members of the thesis jury. These letters should comment on the quality and the impact of the thesis work in comparison with the average of other theses belonging to the same research field.

The award will be announced formally during the « First ICTEAM Young Researcher’s Day » which will take place in May or in early June, after the last week of classes. Results will also be published on this web site.

Thesis directors or co-directors are strongly encouraged to communicate the present call for applications to their eligible PhD students.
