Faculty: Nominate Your Students

Has your student’s paper recently been accepted in a SIAM journal? Consider nominating that student for the SIAM Student Paper Prize. We’re accepting nominations now through February 15, and we’re excited about some changes to eligibility for this prize.

Eligibility is limited to papers accepted for publication by SIAM journals in the last three years and has broadened to include authors who are no longer students, as long as they were students when the paper was submitted.
