CoNEXT Rising Star Award

Each year, CoNEXT will present a "Rising Star" Award, recognizing a young researcher - generally, an individual who has completed a PhD roughly within the past seven years - who has made outstanding research contributions during this early part of their career. One criteria of particular interest is very strong research contributions made independently from the PhD advisor.

Awardees are selected by an Award Committee, appointed by the CoNEXT Conference Steering Committee, who will be aware of the global nature of the networking field, as well as the different research cultures that can exist in different countries.

Nominations for the CoNEXT Rising Star Award are solicited through an open call.
