The first phase of the 2024 Student Paper Contest has reached its conclusion, with the selection of the top 5 papers completed. The names of their authors have been already announced, and they will vie for victory in the Oral Finals at the MELECON 2024 conference.
Given the substantial number of submissions received this year — 34 in total, of which 32 valid — it’s essential to extend congratulations to all participants, particularly those who narrowly missed the top spots. We deeply value the dedication demonstrated by these individuals who came close to the threshold of success. As a gesture of recognition, we are pleased to share a list acknowledging the papers that secured ranks 6 through 10.
According to the SPC Rules, these participants will not advance further in the competition. However, they will receive certificates commemorating their commendable achievements.
