IEEE-Canada HIC (Humanitarian Initiatives Committee) is organizing its first special student paper competition. Student papers will be accepted through the CCECE 2013 conference submission process. The authors of the best HIC paper will be awarded full sponsorship to attend the IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference 2013 in San Francisco in October 2013. In order to give the chance to all students to participate, we are able to accept abstract submissions until Feb 28, which otherwise would have been considered late.

The competition is open to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in a Canadian College or university. Authors should clearly indicate that
the papers are for the HIC Workshop. Papers will be reviewed and feedback will be provided to the authors. For more information please contact, The
Student Activities Committee Chair, Dr. Sawsan Abdul-Majid Email:smajid@site.uottawa.ca OR The IEEE-Canada HIC Chair, Dr. Ferial
