Student Awards

Student Research Awards

Students are encouraged to submit research papers for consideration of the 2026 NESS Student Research Awards. NESS Student Research Awards have a long history. Winners will be selected by the NESS Student Research Awards committee based on the overall quality of the research; they will be acknowledged at the symposium and will receive a plaque in honor of their accomplishments. The paper submitted for consideration must not have been accepted for publication or be in press in a peer-reviewed journal or conference proceedings. Applicants must be students at the time of submission. The student must be the first author of the paper. Award winners from previous years are not eligible for another award.
