<div class="">Starting in 2018, PANDA will award a prize
every year for the best theory PhD thesis related to
the PANDA experimental program and we would like to
ask for nominations for this year's prize. The prize
will include the award of 200 € and will be presented
at the PANDA Collaboration meeting in June 2018. The
rules are simple:<br class="">

experiments, but the majority of the work in the
thesis must be directly connected to the PANDA physics
program. The nomination should be made by the
thesis advisor.<br class="">
<br class="">
A nomination can be made until Dec 31, 2017 by
submitting the following information to the
spokesperson and the chair of the theory advisory
group (Sinead Ryan, <a href="mailto:ryan@maths.tcd.ie"
class="" moz-do-not-send="true">ryan@maths.tcd.ie</a>)
of the collaboration:<br class="">
<br class="">
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>•
A nomination letter in which the content of the
thesis and the importance of this work for PANDA is
described. The letter should also motivate why the
thesis should be considered as the best one from the
selection period for PANDA.<br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>•
The thesis must be made available online and the URL
must be included in the nomination. If the thesis
cannot be uploaded to the PANDA website then a
PDF copy should be submitted with the nomination
letter.<br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>•
If the thesis is not written in English, then a
(couple of pages) summary must be provided in
English.<br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>•
A copy of a certificate showing the grade achieved
by the thesis if relevant (and a short description
of the grade scale). This certificate should
indicate the date of the oral exam. If that is not
the case, then some other confirmation of when the
oral exam was held must be provided (a letter from
the thesis advisor will suffice, if a copy of a
formal document is submitted before the PANDA
Collaboration meeting in March 2018.)</div>
