CIDECT President’s
Student Awards
CIDECT has decided to present awards to
students at each International Symposium on Tubular Structures
(ISTS), for outstanding work in the field of tubular
structures. To qualify, the work submitted by a student
must have been performed during the course of a Bachelor’s or
Master’s degree programme (i.e. not as part of a Doctoral
degree programme). Moreover, the student should have
completed the applicable degree programme within the two years
preceeding the ISTS.
CIDECT will present awards in two
categories:
|
The first is for student or
graduate engineers who can present research in
which they have been involved, that has had as its aim
the extension of knowledge of the capabilities and functionality of structural hollow sections. |
|
The second is for student or
graduate structural engineers or architects who have
used structural hollow sections in a new or creative way
in the design of any structure.This can be
either a structure commissioned by a client or a design
study, but in all cases the structural effectiveness of
the design should be validated. |
From the nominated students, and on the basis of their
extended Abstracts submitted, three in each category will be
invited to write complete papers, attend the Symposium and
make an oral presentation of their projects at a special
session during the Symposium. The winners, for each of
the two categories, will be announced during the Symposium and
each presented with a trophy by a CIDECT official. Each
of the runners-up will similarly be presented with
certificates. All travelling and accommodation expenses
for the six nominated students who attend the Symposium will
be paid by CIDECT.
Application Procedure
All applications for these awards should be made to CIDECT.
Students are invited to supply an abstract on two A4 pages including photo's and figures(for Design Award up to 5 pages), plus a half page evaluation from their university professor or company principal.

This judging panel will select 3 nominated projects as a maximum in each category. The winning project in each category will be announced at the International Symposium on Tubular Structures, where the winners will be presented with their trophies and the runners up with their certificates.For more details,Please refer to CIDECT website.
