The Computing and Philosophy Award

The IACAP has set up a CAP Award Program. The purpose of the program is to provide recognition for faculty and graduate students engaged in innovative work in the field of computing and philosophy. CAP Award winners are selected by their home institution on the basis of proposals for CAP conferences. Faculty and graduate students interested in applying for a CAP Award should consult the criteria below.

For faculty, a proposal for a CAP conference should be reviewed and accepted by the Department Chair and approved by the Dean and at least one high level administrator (Provost, President). It is the responsibility of the Department Chair to write a letter of support to accompany the submission (an electronic version of this letter should be included in the candidate's application).

For graduate students, a proposal for a CAP conference should be reviewed and accepted by the Department Chair and approved by the Dean. It is the responsibility of the Department Chair to write a letter of support to accompany the submission (an electronic version of this letter should be included in the candidate's application).

The home institution is expected to fund the travel, lodging and registration expenses of the nominee. Those candidates that are successful in securing the support of their home institution will receive a spot on the CAP program and special recognition of their work. The latter will occur during an awards ceremony at the opening session of a CAP conference.

CAP Award submissions must be made out to the appropriate CAP conference and by that conference's proposal deadline. Candidates should compose an e-mail with the title and abstract of the presentation along with a list of the names of the campus officials who have accepted the candidate's proposal. The message should be sent to the appropriate CAP conference Program Chair and cc'd the Regional Director.
