So, once again, it's time to seek nominations for our Control & Automation PhD Award.   Do you know any students who deserve recognition for their achievement?   In its 7th year now, and developed by the IET’s Control & Automation Network, this free to enter award aims to recognise research excellence in the Control & Automation field at PhD level.  


The award is open to all relevant PhD students who were awarded their PhD in the general area of Control and Automation, at a UK university between 1st October 2014 up to 30 September 2016.


Winning the award will,  no doubt,  offer an invaluable credential to the winner’s CV who will also receive a £500 cash prize.  We plan to present the award at our first high profile event of the session which will take place in Brunel University on Tuesday, 8th November.  Keep checking back for details of the event


 Nominations are now open for the 2016 award and need to be submitted by 30th September and you can download the form from our files area. 


As ever, all nominations will need to be supported by references from three individuals:


The candidate's principal research supervisor;


Another academic staff member from the nominee's university;


A person from outside the nominee's university.
