Congratulations!
The organizing committee of NOLTA2008 proudly presents the winners of the Best Student Paper Award and the Student Paper Award as listed below.
The decisions are made based on the reviews by the organizing committee members (three reviewers per paper).
We selected five brilliant papers for the Best Student Paper Award: Gold Prize.
The gold prize awardees will be exempted from the registration fee of the NOLTA2009 in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.
In addition, 10 papers are chosen for the Student Paper Award: Silver Prize, because the review scores are very close.
The student paper award was founded this year in order to encourage young students in the research field of NOLTA.
Therefore, the students listed below are the first winners of the award.
We planned the award ceremony at the farewell party with champagne on the final day of the NOLTA2008.
However, we forced to cancel the ceremony because of the unfortunate bomb threat to the Helia hotel.
We are very sorry that we could not celebrate the winners at the conference.
We are planning a small award ceremony at the opening of the next NOLTA2009.
Congratulations again. The award papers will be sent to the awardees soon.
