Best Software Thesis

The competition is organized by The School of Computer Science at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics.

The winners are selected by a jury appointed by the Vice-Dean for Computer Science. The jury examines extraordinary software-oriented theses defended in the particular year with the grade Excellent. The final selection is based on the reviews of the opponents and supervisors, the reports from the defences and individual assessment of the works themselves.

The authors of the winning theses are awarded scholarships by the RSJ Foundation.
