2. Supervisors and industry partners may appear as coauthors on the paper, but the first author must be the applicant. The applicant must have made substantial contributions to the paper.
3. Each applicant can apply with one paper only.
4. At the time the paper was written, the applicant should have been an undergraduate student, a graduate student, or a postdoctoral fellow at a Canadian university or a Canadian citizen studying in a university outside of Canada.
5. Papers selected as finalists must be presented in a special session at the annual CORS conference.
Submission
A cover letter (at most two pages) along with a pdf copy of the paper must be submitted by the application deadline on March 10, 2024, to the committee chair Sibel Alumur (sibel.alumur(a)uwaterloo.ca<mailto:sibel.alumur@uwaterloo.ca>) with the subject "GL Student Paper Award Application". The cover letter should at minimum discuss the motivation, the contribution and potential impact of the paper to the fields of transportation, logistics and operations research, and the role of the student in writing the paper. All co-authors must be CC'd in this email.
The jury is composed of Sibel Alumur Alev, Elena Fernández, and Gilbert Laporte.
Selection Criteria
1. Contribution of the paper to the field of transportation and logistics and operations research,
2. The scale of its impact on the transportation and logistics community and the public,
3. The originality of the problem and the methods, and
4. Style, clarity, and organization of the paper.
Awards
· The winners will be announced at the banquet of the Society by one of the jury members.
· The first prize will be awarded $200 and the honourable mention will receive $50.
