For the first time, and with the goal of encouraging young authors, ANACOM decided to sponsor the Best Student Paper Award with a value of five-hundred euros, to be presented in recognition of the best article presented by a student. The award was made to Marco Carvalho of the Electronic and Telecommunications and Computer Engineering Department at the Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa (ISEL) and Instituto de Telecomunicações, for the work ''An Enhanced Handover Oscillation Control Algorithm in Self-Optimizing LTE Networks''.
