The EASD Research Prizes are presented during EURODYN in recognition of outstanding and sustained contributions to the following areas:

In each of those three areas Senior and Junior Prizes, respectively, will be awarded. Eligibility for Junior Prizes requires that the nominee is forty years old or younger and should not turn 41 in the year the award is presented.

Special Awards will be given for outstanding contributions to other important areas not encompassed above, such as Structural Dynamics Education, Transfer of Structural Dynamics Methods to Engineering Practice, etc. Special Awards are also given to honour individuals who have made outstanding and sustained contributions in the field of Structural Dynamics and related fields generally over periods representing portions of their professional careers.
