Global Border Security Conference and Technology Expo - Northcentral University Call for Papers
E.J. Krause & Associates, a world leader in exhibition and conference management, has teamed with Northcentral University of Prescott, AZ, to sponsor a White Paper contest for two different categories - including one for working professionals in academics, industry, law enforcement and military professionals, coupled with a second category for collegiate students under the age of 25. The White Paper will support the Global Border Security Conference and Technology Expo in Austin, Texas, on May 21-22, 2008. The topic for the papers must relate to the use of technology for border security: How can science best address the gaps and challenges faced on the world's borders?
Michael Rosenberg, Vice President of E.J. Krause & Associates, Inc., underscored the importance of promoting innovation and analysis. "We have teamed with Northcentral to solicit creative ideas and analysis related to issues of national concern involving global border security and the use of technology to address gaps and challenges from academics, students, analysts, researchers, and industry. This will be achieved through two different contests; one designed for students (both undergraduate and graduate), and one for professionals (academics/industry/law enforcement/military). Two separate awards will be judged, with both winners given an opportunity to present their work."
Dr. Clinton Gardner, President of Northcentral University, was equally enthused about the White Paper contest. "This is our second opportunity to team with E.J. Krause to promote a contribution to the body of knowledge in the fast growing field of homeland security. Our university has a history of innovation. NCU was the first 100% online university to be accredited to offer doctoral degrees with its initial accreditation by the Association of Collegiate Schools and Programs, which accredits schools focusing on teaching excellence. This White Paper competition is an extension of our growing partnership with industry."
White Paper contest participants must submit an initial abstract of 175 words by March 1, 2008. Final submission must be completed by May 1, 2008. The winner will be announced on May 21, 2008. Papers will be 9 - 11 pages long, double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, submitted as a Word document to whitepapers@globalbordersecurity.com. Writers will provide their submissions in English using APA or MLA format. Previously published work may not be submitted. Papers will be judged using a double blind review and subject matter experts. Both winners will receive Savings Bonds, a plaque, and an opportunity to present their work on the first day of the Expo. All papers judged compliant with contest rules will be published in a proceeding of the expo. All papers become the property of E.J. Krause & Associates, Inc.
