Award

PAPER AWARD
A few papers will be selected for the “Paper Award” for young researcher. Around 10 papers will be nominated for the award based on the program committee’s ratings of the abstracts. The paper award will be judged from their presentations and announced at the closing to be held on the last day.

Student’s Paper Award, “Yamaguchi Masahito Award”
Yamaguchi Masahito, Ph. D, Associate Professor, Nagoya University, Steering Committee Member of LEDIA’13. He passed away in July, 2013, at the age of 45. We inherited his will to educate students and established Student’s Paper Award with the financial aid of MUTSUMI CORPORATION.
