MEDICON 2004 - AIIMB Student Competition

The MEDICON 2004 Student Paper Competition is sponsored by the AIIMB

Guidelines

Students interested in participating in the Student Paper Competition should register for the Conference via the Online Registration and Paper Submission System. The student author should be listed as the first author and the student's advisor as the second author. Other individuals may be listed as co-authors, if appropriate.
A student may submit up to two entries (on substantially different topics). Each student must indicate that their paper is to be considered for the competition by e-mailing to the MEDICON 2004 Organising Committee / AIIMB Secretariat.
Rules for manuscript preparation for the SCIENTIFIC PAPER, as outlined on the conference web site and in the author's instruction, should be carefully followed.

The Review Process

The normal, web-based review process for the Conference will be used to review all entries in the Student Competition. Entries will be judged on technical merit, structure (abstract, introduction, methods, analysis, results, conclusion and references), clarity of composition and originality.
The Student Paper Competition Committee will use the reviewer's scores to select the top entry.

The Finalists

Ten Finalist will receive complimentary Conference registration, social function tickets, the Conference Proceeding.
Each Finalist must attend the Conference and present his or her paper in the regular conference program, either as an oral or poster presentation - no substitutes will be permitted. A special session for all student finalists to present their papers in slide format will be scheduled. The student finalist must present as part of the regular conference program and as part of the special Student Paper Competition Session . A panel of judges will review each presentation. First, second, and third place winners will be selected based on the professionalism of the presentation, verbal communication skills, and the technical merit of the topic.
The three winners of the STUDENT PAPER COMPETITION will receive an engraved plaque and an honorarium of 300 Euros for the first place winner, 200 Euros for the second place winner, and 100 Euros for the third place winner. The winners will also be invited to submit expanded versions of their work for publication in the IFMBE Journal. All Finalists will receive Certificates of Merit.
