Congratulations!

The organizing committee of NOLTA 2009 proudly presents the winners of the Best Student Paper Award and the Student Paper Award as listed below. The decisions are made based on the reviews by the program committee members. We selected two brilliant papers for the Best Student Paper Award: Gold Prize. The gold prize awardees will be exempted from the registration fee of the NOLTA 2010 in Krakow, Poland. In addition, 8 papers were chosen for the Student Paper Award: Silver Prize, because the review scores are very close.

The student paper award has been founded since NOLTA 2008 in order to encourage young students in the research field of NOLTA. Therefore, the students listed below are the second winners of the award.

Congratulations again!!
