IEEE VT & AES Joint Greece Chapter Organizes Final/Diploma Thesis Competition (Academic Years 2009 – 2011)


The IEEE VTS & AESS Joint Greece Chapter has organized a Final/Diploma Thesis Competition (Academic Years 2009 – 2011) in the scientific field of “Advanced Wireless Communication Systems” with great success. There were 19 submissions from institutes all over Greece. The submissions were performed to a server host provided and supported by the International Hellenic University (IHU). Each Thesis was evaluated by 3 independent reviewers, and they all admitted the level of the participations was high. The 8 submissions with the highest score, coming from 5 different universities, were qualified to the second-final round. The final round reviewing process was performed by the Scientific Committee of the Competition.

The final round presentations and the awards ceremony took place on February 17th 2012, with about 60-65 alternating participants, students and academics, at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh), which provided the room. Two of the final round participants were not able to attend, so they provided a video-presentation and connected through skype for the questions section.

The winner of the Competition, Kampianakis Eleftherios, coming from the Technical University of Crete, was awarded with an iPhone 4 offered by the sponsor of the event Cosmote Mobile Telecommunications S.A. Also, gifts and certificates of participation were distributed to the participants of the Competition.

The final round presentations and the awards ceremony was live broadcasted and is available in the website of the Chapter (http://ewh.ieee.org/r8/greece/avtc/events/eventsen67.html). The symposium was very successful receiving congratulations and enthusiasm from all the participants of the event, the students-candidates and their Thesis supervisors.

The great success of the event has motivated the Chapter Committee to organize the Final/Diploma Thesis Competition every year. Stay tuned with our events at http://ewh.ieee.org/r8/greece/avtc/.
