Announcement:
The AIMS Conference Series on Dynamical Systems and Differential Equations is pleased to announce our student paper competition at the 15th AIMS Conference to be held July 6 - 10, 2026 in Athens, Greece.
The student paper competition is held to identify and honor outstanding student papers in the fields of differential equations and dynamical systems, in the broadest sense.
Up to four awards will be given upon recommendation of the selection committee. All winners and finalists will be presented with plaques or certificates, and the conference registration fee will be waived for the finalists.
Competition Guidelines:
1. To be eligible for participation in the competition, a student must be currently enrolled in a graduate program.
2. An extended abstract of no more than five pages in length must be submitted to the selection committee before the deadline (March 13, 2026). Each student is limited to one paper submission, and multiple submissions from the same author will NOT be accepted.
3. All papers submitted will go through a blind review by the selection committee. Up to 8 finalists will be identified for the competition.
4. The finalists will be invited to present their papers at the conference's Student Paper Symposium. The conference registration fee will be waived for each of these finalists. All student authors must make their own arrangements for travel and hotel accommodations.
5. To be eligible for awards or certificates, the finalist must present his/her paper at the conference. Student competition papers may not have been previously presented to any learned society.
6. Paper presentations by finalists will be judged by the selection committee based on written technical content and presentation effectiveness.
7. The selection committee will recommend up to four awards (First Place, Second Place and Honorable Mentions). Award winners will be presented with plaques and cash awards.
8. All finalists will be invited to the Conference Banquet where the Award Ceremony takes place.
