*******************************************************

The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT, http://www.eamt.org)
is an organization that serves the growing community of people interested
in MT and translation tools, including translators, users, developers, and
researchers of this increasingly viable technology.

The EAMT invites entries for its twelfth EAMT Best Thesis Award for a PhD
or equivalent thesis on a topic related to machine translation.

Previous year winners can be found at https://eamt.org/best-thesis-award/.

** Eligibility **

Researchers who

- have completed a PhD (or equivalent) thesis on a relevant topic in a
European, African or Middle Eastern institution within calendar year 2023,
- have not previously won another international award for that thesis, and,
- are members of the EAMT at the time of submission,

are invited to submit their theses to the EAMT for consideration.

** Panel **

The submissions will be judged by a panel of experts who will be
specifically appointed, based on the EAMT 2024 program committee, and which
will be ratified by the Executive Board of the EAMT.

** Selection criteria **

Each thesis will be judged according to how challenging the problem was, to
how relevant the results are for machine translation as a field, and to the
strength of their impact in terms of scientific publications.

** Scope **

The scope of the thesis does not need to be confined to a technical area,
and applications are also invited from students who carried out their
research into commercial and management aspects of machine translation.

Possible areas of research include:

- development of machine translation or advanced computer-assisted
translation: methods, software or resources
- machine translation for less-resourced languages
- the use of these systems in professional environments (freelance
translators, translation agencies, localisation, etc.)
- the increasing impact of machine translation on non-professional Internet
users and its impact in communications, social networking, etc.
- spoken language translation
- the integration of machine translation and translation memory systems
- the integration of machine translation software in larger IT applications
- the evaluation of machine translation systems in real tasks such as those
above
- the cross-fertilisation between machine translation and other language
technologies

** Prize **

The winner will be announced on the 8th of March 2024 and will receive a
prize of ?500, together with an inscribed certificate. The recipient of the
award will be required to briefly present their research at EAMT 2024 to be
held from 24th June to 27th June 2024 in Sheffield, UK (
https://eamt2024.sheffield.ac.uk/). In order to facilitate this, the EAMT
will waive the winner's registration costs, and will make available a
travel bursary of ?200 to enable the recipient of the award to attend the
said conference. The prize includes complimentary membership in the EAMT
for 2025.

** Submission **

Candidates will submit, using OpenReview (
https://openreview.net/group?id=EAMT.org/2024/Thesis_Award) a single PDF
file containing:

- a 2-page summary of your thesis in English, containing:
---- your full contact details,
---- the name and contact details of your supervisor(s),
---- the main aspects of your work, namely goal/objectives, methodology and
results.
- a copy of your CV in English (at most one page, plus a complete list of
publications directly related to the thesis)
- an electronic copy of your thesis
- optionally, an appendix with any other relevant information on the thesis


By submitting their work, authors

- agree that, in case they are granted the award, any subsequently
published version of the thesis should carry the citation "The Anthony C.
Clarke Award for the 2023 EAMT Best Thesis" and
- acknowledge the right of the EAMT to publicize the granting of the award.


For this year's Best Thesis Award we are requiring candidates to be an
individual EAMT member at the time of submission. For EAMT memberships,
please visit: https://eamt.org/101-2/.

** Closing date **

Submission deadline: February 8, 2024, 23:59 CEST.
Award notification: March 8, 2024.
