The first call for applications to the WATERLAT-GOBACIT Student Prize was for dissertations approved between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2013 and closed on 31 January 2014. We had 12 applications, 5 for the Masters Prize and 7 for the Doctoral Prize. We appointed an Evaluation Commission composed by 15 academics, including several external to our Network. We provide below the details of the Evaluation Commission.<\/p>\n
There were two winners, who will have their thesis published as a book by a consortium led by the State University of Paraiba Press (UEPB), Paraiba, Brazil. The awards were announced during the VI WATERLAT-GOBACIT Annual Meeting<\/a> that took place on 27-31 October 2014 in Manizales, Colombia.<\/p>\n Also, given that we had a very strong field, the Editorial Commission<\/a> decided to invite all other candidates to submit an article based on their thesis for publication in the Student Prize Series (SPREMIO) of the Network’s Working Papers<\/a>.
