Jury note
The EAFT secretariat and the President of the Awards Jury have received several enquiries regarding point 1.2 of the EAFT regulations:
“Candidates for the above-mentioned Awards may be nominated by any academic institution. All applications must be accompanied by the full name and address of the submitting institution as well as those of the candidate together with a copy of the latter’s CV. A copy of the dissertation or thesis must be sent in (one) hard copy as well as in electronic format together with a statement in support of the dissertation or thesis by the submitting institution to the EAFT Secretariat. This justification should not exceed one A-4 page."
The EAFT Board has considered the matter in close liaison with the President of the Awards Jury and announces the following:
· The Jury can accept more than one nomination from the same university only if the nominated dissertations or theses come from different faculties (Faculty of Technology and Faculty of Humanities, for instance). A university department or unit may submit only one nomination.
· The statement has to be signed by a representantive of the academic institution. It may be the President of the institution, but that is not obligatory.
· The hard copy and the electronic file may be sent in on different dates, but always before the deadline for nominations.
