[robocup-worldwide] Call for Candidates for The 2015 Silvia Coradeschi RoboCup Award to Honor a Female RoboCup Student

[April Foster]

Prof. Silvia Coradeschi (d. Feb 5, 2014) was a founding trustee of RoboCup
and an early visionary in the RoboCup initiative. She served as General
Chair of RoboCup 1999 in Stockholm, Sweden, was a frequent competition
participant, and was an examplar of the RoboCup ideal of engaging in
cutting edge AI and Robotics research.

To honor her memory, the RoboCup Federation created "The Silvia Coradeschi
RoboCup Award" in 2014 for a young female RoboCup student, with
distinguishing research. See past awardees at robocup.org
<http://www.robocup.org/about-robocup/the-robocup-silvia-coradeschi-award/>.

We are now calling for candidates to the 2015 Award.

The award recipient, to be named at the RoboCup 2015 banquet will receive:
   - a certificate
   - reimbursement for the RoboCup 2015 registration fee
   - free registration at one (any) future international RoboCup
   - a $500 honorarium

Eligible candidates are female graduate students who have not yet earned a
Ph.D. and who are registered for RoboCup 2015.

The two criteria are:

1) Distinguishing research as evidenced by, for example, refereed
publications.

2) RoboCup leadership, either within a team, and/or in the broad RoboCup
community.

To nominate a female student, the student's professor should send a
nominating email to April Foster, april.robocup at gmail.com, by June 30th,
2015.  The email must address both of the award criteria.

The nominating professor should also solicit at least one and not more than
two supporting emails to be sent by RoboCup community members from a
different team, addressing one or both of the award criteria. The
supporting emails are also to be sent to April Foster,
april.robocup at gmail.com.
