Cor Baayen Young Researcher Award

2023 Call for Nominations

The Call is currently closed; the Deadline is to be announced.

Eligibility

The following are the rules for the 2022 award. These rules may change for the 2023 competition.

• Nominees must have carried out their work in one of the 'ERCIM countries': Austria, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Sweden and The Netherlands. Nominees must have been awarded their PhD (or equivalent) after 30 April 2019.
• A person can only be nominated once for the Cor Baayen Award.

The Cor Baayen award is a young researcher prize: The selection panel will therefore consider the quality of the PhD thesis and all the achievements done up to the nomination date.

The nominees must have performed their research for at least one year in an institution located in one of the countries mentioned above.

Submitting a nomination

• Nominations have to be made by a staff member of an ERCIM member institute. Self-nominations are not accepted. Each institute can forward two nominations to the final evaluation. If there are more than two nominations coming from an ERCIM member institute, it is the responsibility of this institute to select the maximum two nominees.
• Nominations must be submitted through the Cor Baayen Award Nomination Form (available when the 2023 Call is open) and provide a URL to the candidate's full-text PhD thesis as well as the candidate's full-text best papers or other main scientific achievements (max. 5).
• Deadline for submitting a nomination: 5 June 2022

We specifically encourage nominations of candidates from underrepresented minorities, including but not limited to race, gender, and different abilities.

Selection

• The selection of the Cor Baayen Young Researcher Award winner is the responsibility of the ERCIM Human Capital Task Group, which might consult expert opinion in reaching their decision.
