The Student Prize Paper Award was established to recognize the best student paper(s) presented at the IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS).

Eligibility

A full list of eligibility criteria is available on the GRSS website. The first author (i.e., the finalist student) is required to register and participate in the symposium and personally present the full 4-page paper. Compliance with the Eligibility Criteria will be assessed through an online procedure.
