Awards and prizes - 2 VERSEN Thesis awards: PhD and Master
23-Sep-2019
To further promote and encourage excellence in software engineering research, VERSEN has introduced two thesis awards:
The awards are indications of excellence that can support talent in future applications in the current competitive academic climate.
The awards are supported by NWO and promoted at ICT.Open.
The theses will be judged on the following factors, in equal parts:
- Novelty to and impact in the field promoted by VERSEN
- Timeliness
- Quality of the thesis report and associated artifacts
- Methodological approach and execution
Please note that the thesis will be published on the VERSEN website and cannot contain any intellectual property that is not public. If applicable, we will also publish links to associated artifacts (datasets, Github links, etc.).
