STUDENT COMPETITION NAMED AFTER IDG PROFESSOR
03/28/09

The International Association of Chinese Planners (IACP) announces the first Karen R. Polenske Best Student Paper competition. This award, established in honor of MIT Professor Karen R. Polenske, a prominent regional economist and a leading scholar of China’s sustainable development, will be awarded annually to a student member of IACP who presents excellent research at an IACP-sponsored academic conference. The first award will be given to a student who is either the single author or the lead author of a paper accepted for presentation at the IACP-Nanjing University joint conference in Nanjing, June 21-23, 2009.

The Karen R. Polenske Best Student Paper Award has been made possible by generous donations given by several distinguished individuals including some of Professor Polenske’s former students.
