Dear Colleague,
The 35th Research Conference on Communication, Information, and Internet Policy (TPRC) is seeking high-quality paper submissions by graduate or law students. The conference will take place September 28-30, 2007 at the George Mason University Law School in Arlington, VA. The call for papers for the student competition is attached.
The top three student papers will receive cash awards of $1000, $500 and $300 respectively. Award recipients will be invited to attend and present their papers at the conference. Furthermore, one recipient per paper will be exempt from the conference registration fee, receive free meals at the conference, two nights* lodging at the conference hotel, and up to $500 towards travel costs.
Some papers submitted to the student competition but not awarded prizes may be selected for presentation as regular TPRC papers. Two nights* lodging at the conference hotel will be available for one author of each of these papers.
The competition is open to all persons who were graduate or law students on October 1, 2006. Thus, first-year faculty members, industry, and government professionals may be eligible. Submissions must be endorsed by a professor.
Please share this information with your students and encourage them to submit a paper by the deadline of May 1, 2007 (please note that this is after the abstract submission deadline of March 31, 2007). We would also appreciate if you were to disseminate the call to colleagues who might qualify or have students with an interest in information and communications policy.
Best regards,
