IAEE Best Student Paper Award

 

IAEE is pleased to continue the IAEE Student Paper Award programme for student papers on energy economics.

Up to 5 Student Paper Awards may be given, each consisting of a $400 cash prize plus a waiver of conference registration fees (a value of EUR 250) for the 10th IAEE European Conference, 7-10 September 2009.

The award recipients will also be invited to present their papers at the Best Student Paper Competition on the first day of the conference. A panel of judges at the student paper session will select one of the papers to receive the Best Student Paper Award.
