Young Investigator Fund Best Paper Award
Since 2005, Jc-IFToMM has been awarding young investigators to encourage the activity of young scientists in the field of mechanism and machine science. The awardees will be selected from the young researchers who present their research work at the symposium. The Award will be presented during the award ceremony held at the end of the symposium.
Eligibility for the award:
- The candidate must be the first author of a submitted paper.
- The candidate must make a presentation at the symposium.
- The candidate must be 35 years old or younger on the first day of the symposium.
To be considered for the award, individuals must register as candidates during the paper submission process. The papers of the eligible candidates will be reviewed by the award committee.
Sponsorship information (advertising, corporate exhibits, and videos)
This symposium will not only be a venue for presenting cutting-edge research results, but will also play an important role as a forum for exchanging opinions and networking. For this reason, we believe that advertising, equipment exhibits, and advertising video playback will have a significant PR effect on those involved in the field. We would appreciate your consideration of sponsorship.
