excellence in a conference paper contribution whose primary author is a
student (normally at a Ph.D. or MRes level). The student is required to
present the paper at the MTSR 2020 conference. Submissions are evaluated on
their originality, scientific merits, structure, and clarity of composition.
The author of an awarded paper, and co-authors if any, will be entitled to:
* Receive a signed and stamped official award certificate by the conference
organizers.
* Promote their achievement on the MTSR conference webpage and MTSR Social
Media.
* Get invited to submit an extended and revised version of the awarded
paper for publication in the International Journal of Metadata, Semantics,
and Ontologies (Inderscience) (
http://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=ijmso);
* Each award comes with the price of a free access/registration to next
year’s MTSR. Including all conference materials, together with the
printed/digital conference proceedings.
* This voucher, in case of many co-authors, is valid only for one author of
the awarded paper, and only for the MTSR conference that follows the year
after receiving the award.
We look forward to see you in Madrid, Spain!
