IMPS 2009: Best Junior Oral Presentation Prize
The Best Junior Oral Presentation Prize at IMPS 2009 was won by Mariagiula Matteucci for the presentation of her paper 'Including prior information in CAT administration'.
This award was open to those who had received a degree equivalent to PhD during the past two years, or who were active students working toward such a degree, and who made an oral presentation in a contributed paper session or organized symposium at a meeting of the Psychometric Society.
The best junior oral presentation prize is an award for the presenter of the best oral presentation given by a PhD student or a junior person with at maximum two years of postdoctoral seniority. The criteria are
- the quality of the scientific content, and
- the quality of the presentation format.
Voting procedure
Each conference participant will be able to nominate two presenters for the prize, using the forms that will be included in the Conference Folder. The nomination form will require the name and affiliation of the nominated author, the title of the poster presentation, the reasons for nomination, the date, and the signature of nominating person. Only nominations with full information and a signature will count.
The nominations must be deposited in a box at the registration desk, no later than 13.00 noon on Friday the 24th of July.
The three nominees with the highest number of nominations are the finalists. If an author with n nominations is a finalist, all authors with n nominations will be included as a finalist, so that in principle there can be more than three finalists.
A Committee of Four (Past President, President, President-Elect and Secretary) will decide among the finalists to indicate a winner. There can be only one winner. The winner will be announced by email in the week following the conference and receives 500 USD. The other finalists will be honored by being named as finalists.
