the ENoLL Council and one of the founding members of the ENoLL Association.

This prize will be given to one of the papers presented at the Research

will be awarded based upon the initial reviewers marks but we are also 
opening the vote, in a co-creation manner, for all the participants of 
the summit to decide and vote for what they consider to be the best 
paper. You will be able to find all of the papers on the USB stick that 
will be provided at registration and you will be able to vote via this 
page during the summit itself.

Veli-Pekka Niitamo was a member of ENoLL Council for many years and as
