The Best Student Paper Award distinguishes the most outstanding student work presented at the conference. From all the submitted student papers, considering the reviewer’s grades and comments, eight papers were selected as finalists. The current selection has been based on the paper alone. A committee will then evaluate the oral presentation during the conference and decide the Best Student Paper.

All finalist students will have his/her registration and accommodation paid by the European Microwave Association (EuMA). The Best Student Paper Award will be supported by the GAAS Association with 1000 € and with the GAAS Silver Plaque. The award will be given in the closing session of the conference.
