To commemorate Shimon Even, funds have been created for the purpose of handing awards to graduate students in Theoretical Computer Science. Unfortunately, due to various regulations, it was not possible to pursue the original intension of having a single Israeli-wide award. Instead, two awards were established, one confined to students at Weizmann Institute and the other confined to students at the Technion. Each award is administrated by the corresponding institute.
The SHIMON EVEN AWARD (at WIS) was first handed in 2006,
and is scheduled to be given every second year.
The list of winners to date consists of:
The basic format of the call for nomination follows.
The prize money in the amount of $1000 will be granted to a doctoral
student at The Weizmann Institute. The prize will be given for
research achievements in Theoretical Computer Science.
The winner can spend the money on any research related activity
or instrument, according to the Institute's regulations.
Applications are to be submitted by the candidate's supervisor
to the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science.
Please provide the following:
Please send the material by E-mail (pdf format)
to Carol Weintraub (Carol.Weintraub at weizmann.ac.il)
by early January of the year of the award.
The winner will be chosen by a committee
appointed by the Dean of the Faculty shortly thereafter.
