ANNOUNCE Deadlines for UK Chapter Prizes (SD6706)

[SDMAIL Swanson, John]

Posted by  "Swanson, John" <John.Swanson at sdgworld.net>

This is a reminder of the approaching deadline for submitting entries 
for two prizes awarded by the UK Chapter.

The Steer Davies Gleave System Dynamics Prize (£500) is for the best 
piece of work that applies System Dynamics to a problem of wide public 
interest in the UK.  The work should demonstrably improve understanding 
of the problem by, for example, clarifying the definition of what is at 
issue and allowing candidate solutions to be formulated and tested.  

More information about the prize can be found here: 

http://www.systemdynamics.org.uk/index.php?id=17, or on the Steer Davies 
leave web page here:

The deadline for submissions is January 8th 2008.  

The other prize is the UK Chapter Student's prize, for the best piece of 
student work in system dynamics during a given year. This includes 
dissertations for an undergraduate or postgraduate (Master's) degree 
or a published paper from a PhD (but not a full PhD thesis).   
Information about this prize can also be found at 

http://www.systemdynamics.org.uk/index.php?id=17.  

The deadline for the Student Prize was 14th December, but this has been 
extended to January 8th, to be consistent with the Steer Davies Gleave 
prize.  Please note also that due to earlier technical problems with the 
submission address (SDcomp at sdgworld.net) I would ask that anyone who has 
already sent an entry should re-submit, or contact me directly at 
john.swanson at sdgworld.net. I offer my apologies for any inconvenience.
