Computer Simulation Technology AG (CST) has announced the winners of the CST University Publication Award 2014, an annual event awarding university institutes and researchers for published papers related to electromagnetic simulation applications.

The CST University Publication Award recognizes the importance of work from university researchers and academics by granting winners of the award extensions and upgrades to their CST STUDIO SUITE® installations.

For papers to be considered in the award, they must meet three conditions: they must be authored or co-authored by university researchers, they must have been published either in scientific journals or conference proceedings, and the numerical results must be entirely or partly obtained through simulations using CST software.

Submissions are evaluated on a number of criteria, including originality of application and theory, clarity of presentation, and the skillful use of CST software. A special award is also given for short papers, of four pages or less, to acknowledge the importance of short conference papers in promoting practical applications of simulation.

“Universities are exploring new and exciting fields of electromagnetic research. The award helps us to discover the vast variety of important and sometimes surprising ways the software is being applied in today’s fast changing world,” said Dr. Martin Timm, CST, Director of Global Marketing. “Thank you to everyone who submitted a paper to this year’s award.”
