NEST PRIZE @NANOINNOVATION 2017
26 September, 18.30 – 19.00
Scuola Normale Superiore and Laboratorio NEST are proud to present at NanoInnovation 2017 the NEST Prize, edition 2016, for research in nanoscience. Sponsorized by Rivoira, a company of PRAXAIR Group, the purpose of the NEST Prize is to promote and recognize the activity of young scientists (less than 35 years old) working in Italy in the fields of nanoscience, represented by a submitted publication in the last two years on a peer review international journal.
The prize is awarded by an evaluating committee composed by Directors and/or Coordinators of Laboratorio NEST of Scuola Normale Superiore (SNS), Istituto Nanoscienze of Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) and Center for Nanotechnology Innovation of Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) at the NEST Centre.
The NEST Prize consists of € 5,000 Euros cash prize for the winner, a trophy and support (fees, travel and sojourn expenses) to attend the conference (NanoInnovation 2017) where the prize is awarded and, finally, the opportunity to present the research activity of the winner.
This year the prize will be dedicated to the memory of Carmine Di Rienzo, a brilliant young researcher of the NEST laboratory prematurely passed away in 2016.
During the ceremony, the edition 2017 of the NEST Prize will be also presented.
