Forum Award to Young Scientists

Guidelines

From all contributed works by graduate scientists or postdoctoral fellows within 2 years of their PhD that are willing to apply for the award, the Scientific Organizing Committee of each session will choose the Best Work by a Young Scientist.

The Award, labelled as 'Sant Cugat Forum Award for Young Scientists' and it will consist of a symbolic cash amount (to be decided at each meeting, typically of the size of the registration fee), an Award certificate, and a token of recognition related to Sant Cugat (typically a local artist painting). If you would like to be considered for the Award, there will be a place to note so in your abstract submission.

Award Guidelines:

-Participation is open to graduate students and postdocs within the first 2-years after their Ph.D.

-They should be the only or the first authors in the contribution submitted. If they present work done within a large collaboration, they should be one of the main / responsible authors for that work.

-Award decision will be made based on the written contribution to the Proceedings book, submitted by the applicant. The size of the contribution will be fixed by each SOC.

-Criteria for selection will include the presentation of high-quality original work, originality, and global vision at a young age.

-Once you mark your desire to be considered for the award (in the corresponding abstract submission forms above) you should submit your written contribution to the organizers at the deadline noted, which will be before the meeting actually happens. The contribution should be submitted in the corresponding book format for the particular workshop session, if there is any.

-The award announcement will be made at each workshop.
