Young Researcher Award

The Young Researcher Award is looking to reward outstanding papers of early career authors. It will be awarded among all submitted papers of young researchers. Young researchers are defined as researchers who have graduated within the last 5 years (excluding career breaks) at the time of submission of the paper or are currently in education related to the topic.

The author must have made a significant contribution to the paper.

Criteria

Criteria this award will be judged against are:

• Readability/presentation
• Originality/novelty
• Technical content
• Value as catalysts
• Overall relevance to the hygienic manufacturing

This is not necessarily a complete list, or in order of precedence.

Suitable papers are ranked in advance by members of the Scientific Committee based on the submitted versions. During the conference, the scientific committee discusses the best rated papers and selects a winner, who will be announced at the conference. The awarding of the prize is dependent upon author participation.
