EuSpRIG in association with ISACA (Northern UK Chapter) has arranged for the creation of an annual prize to be awarded for the best EuSpRIG conference paper submitted by an undergraduate or masters postgraduate student. The David Chadwick Student Prize is a cheque for 200 euros accompanied by a formal certificate signed by the Chairperson of EuSpRIG and the Chairperson of ISACA(Northern UK Chapter).
The paper must be a shortened form of a formal college project which, in itself, required a minimum 50 student hours with a maximum 5 hours of supervisor contact time. The student must undertake to attend the EuSpRIG conference to present their paper in person and to be formally awarded with their prize. Agreement must be given to permit publication of the said paper in the EuSpRIG conference proceedings, EuSpRIG website, ISACA website and any formal publication of ISACA.
