Please submit your advisor's letter to info(at)pom2012.org
The research must have been conducted while the entrant was a student.
The topic of the paper should fall within the scope of Operations Management. A list of topics can be found on the EurOMA 2011 conference website http://www.pom2012.org/ under the menu item Call for Papers.

The student should be willing to present the paper submitted in a dedicated session, if invited (which may happen if the paper is one of the three best). The student should also be willing and plan to attend the awards ceremony (usually held during the closing session of the conference).
