The AIM awards every year the best master theses from graduates of the Montefiore Institute. A prize of 500\u20ac<\/strong> is awarded by section<\/strong> of the Montefiore Institute or section that is closely linked to the Institute: Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, MSc in Computer Science, Data Science Engineering, MSc in Data Science, and Physics Engineering.<\/p>

In 2025, the prize awarded to the Electrical Engineering section was sponsored by FABI<\/strong><\/a> for a 500\u20ac amount.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The George Montefiore International Competition<\/strong>, established by our founder, rewarded every five years an exceptional work carried out in a field chosen among the specialties taught at the Montefiore Institute.<\/p>

For many years, this prize was very renowned in the field of electrical engineering.<\/p>

In 2014, AIM created another award for the best PHD thesis<\/strong> presented at the Montefiore Institute.<\/p>

This prize distinguishes a doctoral thesis defended in the past year at the Montefiore Institute. The Doctoral College<\/strong> of the Institute selects, among the candidate theses, the three theses that present the highest scientific interest. The AIM, as part of its award, aims to highlight the societal aspect<\/strong> and industrial implications<\/strong> of the content of the thesis. It is in this spirit that it designates the best thesis.<\/p>

This prize of 3500 euros was given for the first time in 2015.<\/p>
