The workshop
When: 16-17th December 2024
Where: Alan Turing Building, Department of Mathematics, The University of Manchester
What: A set of talks on Mathematical and/or Computational Acoustics

The paper prize
We are offering prizes for best research papers in the broad area of Mathematical and/or Computational Acoustics written predominantly by an early career researcher (defined as not having a permanent position). Based on the submitted papers, the committee will shortlist a set of finalists that will be invited to present as part of a special session in the workshop. A set of judges will then decide the winners, based on both the papers and the presentations.
Two prizes of £250 in Amazon vouchers and a certificate are offered by the UKAN+ for the best two papers in Mathematical and Computational Acoustics.
The eligibility criteria are as follows:
To be considered for the prize, candidates must be able to submit a piece of original work (research paper) in the area of Mathematical and/or Computational Acoustics, on which they are a named author. A joint paper may be submitted by a candidate, if the candidate has made major contributions to it. In that case a letter signed by the co-authors giving permission for submission and explaining the contribution of the candidate to the paper is required. There is no requirement that the paper has already been published, submitted for publication, or uploaded to a preprint server.

The eligibility criteria are as follows:
- The submitting researcher should be based at a UK university
- The submitting researcher should not hold a permanent university position (consideration for career stage will be given)
- Any one researcher can only submit one paper.
- The submitted paper can already have been submitted or published elsewhere, though this is not a requirement.
- The work should be recent. In particular, we will not accept papers that have been published more than 18 months prior the workshop.
- Resubmissions from last year's Mathematical Acoustics paper prize will not be considered.

Paper submission to the prize
To submit, please send your paper to [email protected]. If a letter from your co-authors is needed, please ask them to send it to the same address. It is not possible to submit anymore.
Registration to attend the workshop
It is perfectly OK to attend the workshop (and give a talk if you want) without participating in the paper prize competition.
It is not possible to register anymore.

Financial support
We will cover the cost of attending the event for the finalists and the jury of the paper prize competition.
If you require financial help for your travel arrangements and accommodation, please apply here:
