We are delighted to announce the winners of our 2024 Outstanding Student Paper Awards. We are celebrating this year’s winners with a series of webinars and encouraging submissions for 2025 and onwards!

For 2024 we received over 860 nominations, which were shortlisted, and the winning papers were then selected by our Editorial Board and Associate Editors.
