University Award 2008
The CST University Publication Award is an annual grant to university institutes and researchers for their work in the
application of 3D EM field simulation. Now in this its fourth year, the quality of the publications was outstanding.
Prerequisites for participation are that the papers are authored or co-authored by academic researchers, published either
in scientific journals or conference proceedings, and the numerical results are entirely or in part obtained through
simulation using CST software products. Submissions are evaluated on a number of criteria including originality of the
application or the theory, clarity of presentation, as well as the skilful usage of CST software features.

for short papers was introduced. This acknowledges the importance of short conference papers in promoting the practical
application of simulation.
“We were delighted with the quality and diversity of papers this year. The entries for both the traditional and the
short paper awards have offered invaluable insight into leading areas of research and help us understand the demands being
