Hamburg, Germany, October 21, 2024 – The ISC Conference announces the call for nominations for the 2025 ISC Jack Dongarra Early Career Award. Conference attendees encourage community members to nominate young researchers who they feel have made significant contributions to scientific advancement in their fields of study.
Nominations close on Wednesday, February 26, 2025. Nomination guidelines are available on the ISC website. As a prerequisite, researchers must have 4 to 10 years of experience after completing their Ph.D.
ISC understands the challenges young families and individuals face in their professional careers. Therefore, the Commission is willing to extend the eligibility period by up to four years for those who become parents, become primary caregivers, or face significant personal challenges after graduation.
Winners will be invited to speak at ISC 2025. On the same stage, Professor Jack Dongara will present him with a cash prize of €5,000 and a certificate recognizing his contribution.
