Spoendlin Junior Award

The Spoendlin Junior Award will be given to the best manuscript submitted by a young researcher, less than 35 years old.

The manuscript should contain non-published original research.

The best manuscript will be selected by a jury of at least three experts before the Workshop.

Jury members shall not belong to the same department of any of the entrants.   Members of the local organizing committee will not be part of the jury; they will cast the decisive vote should the jury not be able to arrive at a majority decision.

An award will not be made if in the opinion of the jury members it was not justified by the quality of the science.

The winner will present his work as a lecture at the Workshop.

The Award will consist of a plaque and a EUR 1,000 prize (charged to the Workshop).

A manuscript in extenso must be e-mailed to the Workshop Secretariat (anthony.gummer(at)uni-tuebingen.de) before 30 June 2012. The manuscript must be the entrant’s own research.

When the entrant is not the sole author, a statement of consent and relative contributions must be provided with submission of the manuscript. The nominee will be informed by 15 August 2012.
