iise Sustainable Development Best Student Paper competition

Objectives

The Sustainable Development Division recognizes students are a large part of IISE membership and this award will serve as an incentive to encourage students to continue developing the field of sustainability and contributing with high quality research contribution. The winner will be presented at the IISE Annual Conference & Expo May 18-21, 2024, in Montreal, Canada.

Eligibility

In order to be qualified for the award, students must:

  • Submit a paper (invited or contributed) for the conference using the usual submission process.
  • Fill out an application.
  • Present their work at the IISE Annual Conference & Expo.

Candidate papers will come from those submitted to the ISERC track and accepted through the regular submission process. The student must be the primary author (first author) of the paper as well as the presenting author. If multiple students are co-authors, all of their names should appear before their advisor in the list of authors.

Only those who will be students (undergraduate or graduate students) on the application submission date are qualified for the best student paper. That means those who will graduate on or after May 2020 will be eligible for the award. Finally, at least one of the co-author students must be a current member of IISE and the Sustainable Development Division at the time of paper submission to be eligible for the award.
