This award recognizes scholarly work as well as ability to communicate results effectively from an undergraduate student or student teams. The award includes a presentation to decide the winner.



The application process consists of a paper followed by a presentation. The first author of the paper must be an undergraduate student at the time of submission, and though the work may contain faculty authors, it must be predominantly the work of a student or student team. Graduate student co-authors are encouraged. The paper must present original research, the research must have been conducted while the applicant was a student, and the paper must not have won or been considered for an award in another competition.



The application process will follow the timeline of the proceedings paper submissions. When applicants submit their proceeding abstract they must email the Operations Research division, requesting that their paper be considered for the award. Then they submit their proceeding paper through the usual ISERC process. Finalists will be selected from among the papers in two rounds.  Finalist will present at ISERC 2017.  The winner will be determined by the combination of paper and presentation scores.
