The IAPR Best Biometrics Student Paper Award (BBSPA) consists of a cash amount and a suitably inscribed certificate. The award is drawn from a TC4 BBSPA endowment fund that was created with surplus donated by the organizers of AVBPA05, with Professor Takeo Kanade as General Chair, Dr. Nalini Ratha and Professor Anil Jain as Program Co-Chairs, and Dr. Atul Chhabra as Treasurer.
The first BBSPA was presented at the Second IAPR/IEEE International Conference on Biometrics (ICB 2007) held in Seoul, Korea on 27-29 August 2007.
Award Procedure
The selection process starts with the IJCB Organizers, who pass candidate papers to the TC4 Awards Committee for the final selection.
