Organizers of the European Magnetic Resonance (Euromar) conference have announced a new yearly prize – the Richard R. Ernst Prize in Magnetic Resonance. The Prize comes with a purse of 10,000 Euros, sponsored by Bruker BioSpin, and will be awarded at the inaugural session of upcoming Euromar conference in Aarhus, Denmark, July 2016.
Named for magnetic resonance pioneer and Nobel Laureate Prof. Richard R. Ernst, the Prize will be awarded to recognize “recent beneficial applications of Magnetic Resonance”.
The Ernst Prize is intended to award achievements going beyond fundamental research, for groundbreaking applications of new or previously known techniques in all areas of magnetic resonance. It is intended for research published within the last three years, although the origins of the ideas and experiments may have been described in previous publications. In special cases, and at the discretion of the Prize Committee, the award may be for cumulative achievements over a longer period of time. The Ernst Prize is intended to be awarded to a single individual; however, it may be awarded to up
to three scientists if the Prize Committee deems that their contributions to the development of the applications are of equal value.
The 2016 Ernst Prize committee is made by Profs. Lucia Banci (chair), Marina Bennati, Lucio Frydman, Robert Griffin, Wiktor Kozminski, Vladimir Sklenar and Thomas Vosegaard.
The deadline for nominations is approaching and must fulfill the following conditions:
