Neelima Reddy
Shell India Computational Talent Prize
Rising global energy demand and difficult-to-access oil and gas, coupled with environmental and social issues form the crux of the energy challenge. Energy production in the future needs to become ‘smarter’ and more efficient, with a smaller environmental footprint. Computational research is increasingly used to deliver such innovative technology solutions.
Shell recently set up the Computational Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, India to foster cutting-edge Computational R&D. The Shell India Computational Talent Prize (SICTP) has been established to recognize outstanding computational research by students in Indian academia. The award will be given to a recent paper published by the student, with impactful and innovative computational contribution. The award aims to encourage computational efforts in every field of science. Shell India Computational Talent Prize will be presented annually at a ceremony held during the HiPC conference
Each year the intention is to have up to three high quality papers recognized through an award up to Rs, 100000.
SICTP Gold Award - R 50,000.00,
SITCP Silver Award - R 30,000.00,
SICTP Bronze Award - R 20,000.00
Winners will also receive travel expenses to attend the HiPC.
