Awards

If publications are the icing on the cake in science, then prizes and honours are the cherry on the top, no matter whether you’re a well-established professor or an up-and-coming young researcher.

Prizes and awards given to members and cooperation partners

CENIDE Best Paper Award

Since 2008, CENIDE has announced the „CENIDE Best Paper Award“ every year for the best scientific publications from young researchers. All members are invited to suggest publications from scientific journals affiliated with CENIDE for awards – either from their own or from other CENIDE working groups. The board and advisory board make up the jury, with publications judged on their scientific quality and interdisciplinarity.

The award winners each receive 500 euros (awarded authors in bold):
