Technical programme

E2.1. Student Conference - Part 1

Undergraduate and graduate level students (no more than 28 years of age) present technical papers on any project in space sciences, industry or technology. These papers will represent the specific work of the author(s) (no more than two students). The students presenting in this session will compete in the 52nd International Student Competition. This session is NOT for team projects. Team project papers should be submitted to session E2.3. To accommodate for the different national education schemes, the distinction between undergraduate and graduate students is based uniquely upon the number of years of university education, as follows: - undergraduate students: students who did their work within the 4th year at university level, for instance a Bachelor thesis. - graduate students: students who did their work from the 5th year at university level, for instance a Master thesis. If appropriate, faculty members that advised students during the preparation of their work can be listed as a co-author (never as a first author) and their status of advisors must be clearly indicated. Principle responsibilities for a submitted student conference paper fall with the student author/s and as such they must be listed first. The content of the paper should mainly reflect the contribution of the student. Faculty co-authors cannot present the paper or answer questions at the student conferences. The selection of the oral presentations is solely based on the submitted abstracts. We strongly recommend that you submit an abstract with an extensive description of your topic, including a detailed explanation of your contribution and the novelty of your work. French, German, US and UK students submitting abstracts for the sessions E2.1 and E2.2 will be forwarded to the corresponding national competition coordinators. The following contact persons are available for more information: For the French national competition: Emmanuel Zenou – emmanuel.zenou@isae-supaero.fr For the German national competition: Marco Schmidt – marco.schmidt@uni-wuerzburg.de For the US national competition - Michael Lagana - MichaelL@aiaa.org For the UK national competition: Vix Southgate - iac_comp@bis-space.com Paper accepted for the competition and the presentations will be evaluated along the following criteria: Technical Content, Originality, Practical Application, General Presentation, Knowledge of the Subject
