For Students

Student Award

IMWA and the Organ­iz­ing Com­mit­tees believe that it is import­ant to attract young sci­ent­ists and engin­eers into the field of mine water man­age­ment. There­fore, IMWA will be award­ing a cash prize to the best tech­nic­al paper writ­ten and presen­ted by a bona-fide stu­dent. Stu­dents from around the world are invited to par­ti­cip­ate.

Three cash prizes of 1,500 Euro and 500 Euro will be awar­ded to two full-time bona-fide stu­dents, based on an assess­ment of the qual­ity of the writ­ten paper and the oral present­a­tion. Stu­dents who believe that they are eli­gible for con­sid­er­a­tion for this award will be required to con­firm their status as a full-time bona-fide stu­dent when they sub­mit their writ­ten papers. Presenters will be reques­ted to provide the Com­mit­tee with a prop­erly author­ised let­ter of con­firm­a­tion of their full-time stu­dent status from the aca­dem­ic insti­tu­tion where they are study­ing, togeth­er with con­tact details of the aca­dem­ic insti­tu­tion in order that the Organ­ising Com­mit­tee can fol­low up and con­firm if they require to do so.

The awards will be presen­ted at the Con­fer­ence Clos­ing Cere­mony and the Organ­ising Com­mit­tee will there­fore ensure that all papers deemed eli­gible for the award are presen­ted before this date. IMWA and the Organ­iz­ing Com­mit­tees hope that this award will encour­age and motiv­ate young stu­dents and research­ers from around the world to write and present a dis­tinct­ive and mer­it­able paper on the Con­fer­ence Theme of their choice.
