The Hartle Awards
These awards are made possible through generosity of Professor James
B. Hartle of the University of California at Santa Barbara. They
recognize the best student presentations at the triennial GR conferences. The recipients are nominated by the workshop chairs
and the awards are decided by the Society's Executive. The award
consists of a small cash prize, and free membership of the Society
until the next conference.
The awards are made in the following way:
i) Each parallel session Chair will be requested to make (at most) one
nomination for the best student talk in that session, based on a dual
criterion: the scientific quality of research and the quality of
presentation.
ii) Each prize will carry at least a 3 year membership to
the GRG Society and an award of at least US $ 50.
iii) Eligible candidates should be students
who have not submitted their Ph.D. thesis before January 1st of the
year in which the conference is held.
iv) In the case when the number of candidates recommended by the
session Chairs exceeds the number of prizes available, the Executive
Committee of the Society will make a selection ensuring a fair
distribution among various sub-fields.
