CoNEXT Rising Star Award

Each year, CoNEXT (http://www.co-next.net/) will present a "Rising Star"
Award, recognizing a young researcher - generally, an individual who has
completed a PhD roughly within the past seven years - who has made
outstanding research contributions during this early part of their career.
One criteria of particular interest is very strong research contributions
made independently from the PhD advisor.

Awardees are selected by an Award Committee, appointed by the CoNEXT
Conference Steering Committee, who will be aware of the global nature of the
networking field, as well as the different research cultures that can exist
in different countries.
The Award winner is invited to give a keynote talk at the conference.

Nominations for deserving candidates will be through an open call for
nominations.

This year's, and very first, CoNEXT Rising Star is Matthias Grossglauser
(EPFL, Switzerland).
