The IEEE Society on the Social Implications of Technology (SSIT) is holding a student paper competition for the 1997 International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS 97) University of Strathclyde Glasgow, Scotland June 20th - 21st 1997.
Thanks to a grant from the US National Science Foundation, we will be able to partially cover travel costs of 4 students to attend the conference.
The award: The award will consist of partial travel support and conference registration. The anticipated award will be comparable to the cost of an APEX air ticket from the US to Glasgow UK, conference registration, and partial living costs in Glasgow. Awardees are expected to attend the conference and present their papers in a special session at the Conference. Awardees will be encouraged, but not required, to submit their papers for publication in Technology and Society, the SSIT magazine.
Who is eligible: Undergraduate or graduate students. Must be US citizens, US nationals or persons with permanent US resident status. (This condition was imposed by the NSF.)
What to submit: a. A 2-5 page article on one of the themes covered by the conference (see below). You (the student) must be the first author of the paper. However, there may be co-authors, possibly including your advisor or another faculty member.
b. A letter from your advisor, on university letterhead, stating that you are a student in good standing and are a US citizen, US national, or have permanent US resident status. The letter should state whether you are a graduate or undergraduate student.
Please Note: If you have already submitted a paper to ISTAS, submit the same paper, with a note to the effect that it has already been submitted.
How the submissions will be evaluated:
The paper will be evaluated by a panel of three people (a professor of philosophy, professor of engineering technology, and a student). The criteria for acceptance include originality, clarity of composition, scholarly excellence. Submissions from graduate and undergraduate students will be evaluated separately.
When submissions are due:
All submissions must be received by May 1, 1997. Awards will be announced by May 5.
