As part of the Kleinheubacher Tagung, there will be a programme to promote and support young scientists by awarding up to 15 Young Scientist Awards and 3 Young Scientist Best Paper Awards.
The winners of a Young Scientist Award (YSA) will be determined on the basis of the documentation submitted. The criteria according to which the work submitted is assessed include originality, creativity, form, and clarity. The winner(s) receive a certificate, free conference attendance, and a prize of €300.
All winners of a YSA must give a paper as part of the regular conference programme. In addition, they are invited to present their work at a special YSA poster session. The posters are assessed and judged by a selection committee. The best three will be given a Young Scientist Best Paper Award (YS-BPA), and the winners receive a certificate and the following prizes: €1000 (first place), €750 (second place), and €500 (third place).
All YSA and YS-BPA winners will be officially recognised during the closing event of the Kleinheubacher Tagung.
