The quality of the academy and its selection can also be seen through the professional evolution of students who have obtained an award. Indeed, the academy awards two prizes each year (and sometimes several Accessits) for the best Ph.D. project and the best working paper.
The laureate of the best Ph.D. project wins participation in the next IOEA session while the laureate of the best working paper wins participation in the SIOE conference (these participations are funded by IOEA).
