GTTI PhD award for PhD Theses in the field of Communication Technologies
Con il fine di riconoscere l'importanza per la comunità scientifica dell'attività di ricerca svolta dai giovani e di stimolare il perseguimento di alti standard di qualità, il GTTI ogni anno premia le tre migliori tesi di dottorato in occasione della riunione annuale.
Standing rules (valid for the 2023 edition): (pdf version)
- GTTI establishes an annual Award in recognition of the best PhD Theses defended at an Italian University in the areas of Communications Technologies (Signal Processing, Digital Communications, Networking)
- The Theses will be evaluated by a Committee (to be renewed every year) whose members are distinguished Professors and non-academic experts in the field.
- The Committee will evaluate the Theses received after the call according to their technical and scientific relevance (both in absolute terms and relatively to the subject of the work), also considering the working environment. The main aspects considered are originality and innovation, as well as the author’s research autonomy and clarity of exposition.
- The Committee will issue a maximum of three Awards per year. Each Award is constituted by a diploma and of a prize of 1,500 Euros delivered personally to the winners during the annual GTTI meeting 2022 (check the GTTI website for dates).
- For the 2023 Award the Committee will only consider submitted PhD Theses defended in the period between May 16, 2022 and May 15, 2023.
- After successful completion of the final PhD defense, the candidates may apply for the Award by sending to GTTI the following documentation:
- Final version of the Thesis
- Final assessment expressed by the local Doctorate Committee after completion of the PhD program
- Final report issued by the PhD jury after the defense of the Thesis
- Signed application form with a declaration of conformity that documents in points 1, 2, and 3 are identical to the original
- A summary of the Thesis enhancing in short innovative aspects, main results, theoretical contributions, possible applications (maximum 1 page A4, format pdf, line spacing 1.5, character size 11 or 12).
All material has to be sent in electronic form (.pdf format) to the e-mail address premio_dottorato@gtti.it by June 15, 2023, h. 24:00 CET (early submission is encouraged in order to facilitate the review process).
Templates for documents at above point (4) are available here
For further information, all interested parties should contact Prof. Marco Luise
