The Marconi Society is a foundation dedicated to advancements in the Internet and communications that benefit humankind. Each year, a small group of Paul Baran Young Scholars is selected. Nominations will be accepted for the 2018 Young Scholars from February 1 through June 30, 2018. Candidates must be nominated, typically by a professor or research advisor.
Many Young Scholars are Tau Beta Pi members. Being honored as a Young Scholar is often an early step in continued recognition in the field. In addition to rewarding relationships with the best in the field, awardees receive a $4,000 cash prize and travel expenses to attend the Marconi Society Symposium to be held this year in Bologna, Italy.
