Award information
An award, sponsored by the Topical Group in Gravity, for best
presentation by a student will be made at each of the following annual
regional meetings:
- East Coast Gravity Meeting EGM9
- Midwest Relativity Meeting MW15
- Gulf Coast Gravity Meeting 2nd
GCGM
- Pacific Coast Gravity Meeting PCGM22
The award is $200 and gives the recipient the right to advertise
her/himself as winning the GGR Topical Group in Gravity Best Student
Presentation at the particular meeting.
Criteria governing the award:
- The only candidates are those who have not yet officially
received PhD degrees.
- A member of the Topical Group shall organize the judging of
presentations. Judges may include faculty members and postdoctoral
associates, but are not to include students.
- The criteria for winning shall be a continuation of the criteria
previously used for the award of the Bell prize at Pacific Coast
Gravity Meetings. This means, in particular, that the quality of the
research and of the presentation will be weighted as the judges see
fit.
- The Topical Group member taking responsibility for organizing
the judging will notify the Secretary-Treasurer, in advance of the
meeting, and will notify the Secretary-Treasurer of the outcome of the
judging, including contact information for the winner. The
Secretary-Treasurer will then arrange to have the prize money sent to
the winner.
- The prize can be split, but this is strongly discouraged.
