The Microwave Road Association Awards Scholarship for Master’s Thesis Projects

The scholarship is awarded to one female and one male student at the Master of Science (Engineering) or Master’s level, who have each completed a commendable thesis project with a clear connection to antenna and microwave technology.

The scholarship consists of a diploma plus SEK 10,000 per thesis project. If the thesis project has been carried out by two or more students, they share the scholarship amount. The scholarship is awarded in connection with the association’s joint activities during the spring.

Criteria and Procedure for Selecting Scholarship Recipients

• The association appoints an award committee consisting of: a convenor (from the association), two members from the association’s board, and a faculty representative from Chalmers University of Technology.
• In December, the convenor contacts member companies and Swedish universities of technology requesting nominations.
• The Vice Heads of Department select commendable thesis projects, which best meet the scholarship requirements, from the theses completed during the year. Selected thesis projects are submitted to the award committee (No later than December 31st). The best thesis projects (authored by a woman and a man, respectively) are selected based on the following criteria: originality, methodology, writing and communication skills. The thesis report must also be publicly available via Open Access.
• In February, the award committee selects two of the nominated thesis projects.
• Someone from the committee briefly presents the recognized thesis projects, and the scholarship award takes place at a suitable event during the spring.
