[Aida2024] AIDA24. Welcome

[Amanda Figueras]

Dear all
If you are receiving this email, it is because you accepted to be part of
the AIDA25 committee. Our task is to evaluate this year's candidates for
the EurAI Artificial Intelligence Dissertation Award. This year, we have
thirty candidates. We have to give only one prize, but we can choose
another to receive a Diploma, but this is not a common procedure.


It ought to be crystal clear that we have to evaluate the *impact* of each
PhD Thesis rather than the Thesis itself. We try to measure their
contribution to the field of Artificial Intelligence in Europe.
It is crucial to remember that all our deliberations and emails *must be
kept strictly confidential* during this process and after. This
confidentiality is essential to maintain the integrity of the award and the
candidates' trust.


I am processing the materials to ease our task. During the weekend, you
will receive an email to get access to a folder with all materials to start
a bid. Each of us has to evaluate three to four candidates. Once this is
complete, Amanda, EurAI executive secretary, will organise one—if
necessary, two—meetings to explain the criteria and procedures. You can
reach out to her for any further information or clarification.


Thanks again for your willingness to participate in this important process.

Have a lovely weekend.

u.

Ps. If, for any reason, you cannot participate any more, please let us know
at your earliest convenience so we can take you out of the loop
