We are happy to announce this year's ENRE Student Travel Award Competition. This award is given annually to the best paper dealing with energy, environmental, or natural resource issues by a student author who is presenting at the INFORMS Annual Meeting, as judged by a panel of the Energy, Natural Resources, and the Environment Section. Award finalists will present their submitted papers in the ENRE award session at the INFORMS Annual Meeting. The prize is awarded at the ENRE business meeting at the INFORMS Annual meeting and is accompanied by a certificate and a $300 honorarium.
All students conducting research in or related to energy, mining, sustainability, environmental, or natural resource issues (including theory development, applications, optimization, econometrics, and simulation) are encouraged to submit a paper. The work must be predominately that of the student, although faculty members or other mentors can be co-authors, if appropriate. The paper should be 30 pages or less, double-spaced, single-column, and in 12-point font. Students do not need to be ENRE members to be eligible for the competition, however membership is encouraged.
