• Outstanding Contribution Award
To acknowledge the significant contributions of some invited speakers of the OSMG to the development and applications of opto-electronic sensor-based monitoring technology in geo-engineering, the Outstanding Contribution Awards (OCAs) have been established since 2012.
The past awardees include Prof. Farhad Ansari, Prof. Xiaoyi Bao, Prof. An-Bin Huang, Dr. Wolfgang R. Habel, Prof. Zhishen Wu, Prof. Luc Thévenaz, Dr. Il-Bum Kwon, Prof. Jian-Hua Yin, Prof. Michael D. Todd.
ELIGIBILITY AND SELECTION PROCESS: To be determined by the Organizing Committee of 7th OSMG.
• Best Paper Awards
To promote and support the research and development works of non-invited speakers on opto-electronic sensor-based monitoring technology in geo-engineering, the Best Paper Awards (BPAs) have been established since 2012. It is based on general quality, originality, contributions, and subject matter. In this symposium, the extended versions of the selected papers will be recommended for publication in several journals which will be determined soon.
ELIGIBILITY AND SELECTION PROCESS: This award is granted to those non-invited speakers whose papers are written in English and will be published in the 7th OSMG proceedings as original papers. The Academic Committee members will review all the papers and vote to determine several best papers as the winners in this forum. The voting process will be in anonymous and the whole process will be monitored by the Chair and Co-Chairs of the Academic Committee (non-voting).
• Best Poster Awards
To encourage the forum participants to exhibit their research achievement and works on opto-electronic sensor-based monitoring technology in geo-engineering, the Best Poster Awards (BPAs) have been established since 2014. BPAs include 1 Golden Prize, 2 Silvers prizes and 3 Bronze prizes.
ELIGIBILITY AND SELECTION PROCESS: Voted by all the delegates. The ballot ticket is in the delegate’s material bag.
