Awards

The EPDIC Award for Young Scientists is assigned at each EPDIC Conference and honors outstanding scientific achievement by young scientists in the field of powder diffraction. The award winner is invited to present a plenary talk at the next European Powder Diffraction Conference. The award has a value of 1,000 Euro and is possible by generous sponsorship of Malvern Panalytical Ltd (Almelo, The Netherlands).

The EPDIC Committee of each EPDIC Conference decides who is the winner. Short proposals of candidates containing descriptions of the scientific contributions to be assessed should be addressed to any member of the EPDIC Committee who is asked to make names public within this committee. As a rule, an age limit of 35 applies to the candidates.

The call and the final date for submission of proposals are posted on the web page of each EPDIC Conference and taken up in the corresponding circular.
