Achieves
JSCES awards are given to those members who have contributed to level up the standard of research and technology in the field of computational engineering and science. The awards include the JSCES Grand Prize, the JSCES Achievement Award, the Kawai Medal, the Shoji Medal, the Technology Prize, the Outstanding Paper Award, the Young Researcher Paper Award, and the PhD Thesis Award. The JSCES Grand Prize is the highest award among them and is given to the individual for his/her outstanding global contributions in the fields of computational engineering and science. The JSCES Achievement Award are given to the individuals who made meaningful contributions in the field of computational engineering and science. The Kawai Medal, honoring the late Prof. Tadahiko Kawai, the first president of the JSCES, is commended to young researchers under 50 years old who have made outstanding achievements in the field of computational engineering and science. The Shoji Medal, honoring Dr. Mikio Shoji, the second president of the JSCES, is commended to the members who have contributed to the development of computational engineering and science in industrial field. The Technology Prize is given to the members who have developed an outstanding technology in the field of computational engineering and science. The Outstanding Paper Award is given to the authors who wrote an outstanding paper in the transactions of the JSCES. The Young Researcher Paper Award is given to the members (including student members) who are under 40 years old. The PhD Thesis Award is given to the student member who wrote an outstanding PhD Thesis in the field.
