Five years ago, Harold "Bud" Lawson founded the 鈥淟awson Scholarship鈥 under the Link枚ping University Jubilee Foundation, to encourage international exchange among the PhD students at IDA and increase international contacts at the department. The scholarship is awarded to PhD students in computer and information science or in electrical engineering. The intention is to encourage excellent performance, and provide an opportunity for extended international exchange early in the career of a researcher. IDA's departmental board decides on the recipients and the prize, based on the recommendation from the selection committee.
Scholarship for 2023
Adrian Lawson, Bud's son, delivered the award certificates to George in a ceremony at IDA鈥檚 information meeting on March 21, 2024. The prize is SEK 10 000.
