*Students satisfying the nationality requirement, but studying in another country, are also eligible to apply.
** The content of the paper must constitute original work / research and may not constitute research that has previously been published, for example as part of a dissertation or thesis submitted as part of a university qualification or for a competition other than the one currently being applied for. Where limited previous research will be included as part of the paper, the synopsis of the paper that accompanies an application should make this clear and should provide the necessary detail as to the extent of the use of previous research. Should a paper consisting of limited previous research be selected as the winner, the paper itself should likewise indicate where the previous research was published as well as details regarding any financial support provided as part of that research.
