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 53rd 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: Fabrizio Bernardini - 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

E2.3-GTS.4. Student Team Competition
Undergraduate and graduate level student teams (students no more than 28 years of age) present papers on any subject related to space sciences, industry or technology. These papers will represent the work of the authors (three or more students). Students presenting in this session will compete for the Hans von Muldau Team Award. 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 authors and as such they must be listed first.

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. Furthermore, a short description how your team worked together to achieve the project goal should be included. 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.

E2.IP. Interactive Presentations - 53rd IAF STUDENT CONFERENCE
This session offers a unique opportunity to share your education and outreach activities through an interactive presentation on any of the subjects of the symposium. The presentation will be displayed on a digital screen in a dedicated location and available for view by all Congress attendees for the entire Congress week. In addition, one afternoon is dedicated exclusively for the attendees to view the Interactive Presentations presented by the authors. Authors will be assigned a ten- minute slot to present the topic and interact with the attendees present. The Interactive Presentation may take advantage of digital capabilities, including Powerpoints, embedded hyperlinks, pictures, audio and video clips. An award will be presented to the author of the best Interactive Presentation in the E Category at a special ceremony. When submitting abstracts for this session, please: Provide context describing the research and/or analysis you conducted when choosing the purpose of the activity, targeting an audience, and designing the activity. Clearly state the goal of the activity, the intended audience, the measurable objectives that were set, and if the activity is in planning or has already occurred. Provide a short but clear description of the activity or the programme. Include information about anything that makes the activity unique, original or innovative. Provide information about how your participants/audience were drawn to the activity (e.g., how it was promoted or disseminated). Set up the analysis you’ll provide in your presentation, which should include results and evaluation of the activity, if it has been completed, or a thorough description of the expected outcomes of the activity. You will be expected to assess results against your measurable objectives that indicate if your goal was met. Include your top-level lessons learned, best practices, recommendations for future activities, practical applicability of theoretical work, or other takeaway findings.
