Evaluation process: The members of the scientific committee are Alberto Bemporad, Antonio Bicchi, Francoise Lamnabhi-Lagarrigue, Antoine Chaillet and Christophe Prieur (chair). Each candidature will be independently evaluated by at least two designated senior researchers in the field. For each application, at least one review will be made by researchers that do not belong to the EECI PhD Award Committee.
The criteria for this evaluation are: theoretical approach and scientific quality, scientific impact for the area, number and quality of publications, industrial contacts, and possible other merits. Each reviewer will provide grades and comments on all of these aspects, and give a general recommendation on the candidature. Based on these evaluations, the EECI PhD Award Committee will designate the recipient of the award. The organizers reserve the right to divide the prize among several candidates.
