CST University Publication Award winners announced

The CST University Publication Award acknowledges the importance of work from university researchers and academics by granting winners extensions and upgrades to their CST STUDIO SUITE installations.

According to the selection committee, there are three conditions for participation: the papers must be authored or co-authored by university researchers; they must have been published either in scientific journals or conference proceedings; and the numerical results must be entirely or in part obtained through simulations using CST software products.

A variety of criteria were used for eveluation, including originality of application and theory, clarity of presentation, and the skilful use of CST software. A special award is also given for short papers of four pages or less, to acknowledge the importance of short conference papers in promoting practical applications of simulation.

Dr. Martin Timm, Director of Global Marketing, CST, comments: “The quality of the publications submitted was outstanding and this emphasizes why we continue to support university institutions and their research through the CST University Publication Award. Even after 10 years of granting the award, selecting a winner is never easy. Learning about the vast range of interesting and novel areas of application is a privilege and I’d like to thank everyone who has continued to support this initiative by contributing their papers.”
