We would like to remind you of the current call for the "Danubius Young
Scientist Award". After receiving some requests and questions from DRC
members, we would like to note that there is no rotation system for the
"Danubius Young Scientist Award". Thus, you can hand in nominations from
all fields of science for the "Danubius Young Scientist Award."

The Award seeks to encourage young scientists to engage in the scientific
examination of issues and questions specifically related to the Danube
Region. Please forward this call for nominations to relevant departments,
institutions, and scientists.

Nominations will be accepted in electronic format and in English only.

Nominations including all relevant documents have to be sent to:

The Danubius Award was created in 2011 by the Austrian Federal Ministry of
Science and Research (BMWF) and the Institute for the Danube Region and
Central Europe (IDM) with the intention to honour individuals with
extraordinary scientific achievements and output in relation to the Danube
Region.

For 2014, it is envisaged to complement this award with a specific prize
for young scientists – the so-called “Danubius Young Scientist Award”.
This award will be given to 14 young scientists - one in each country that
is part of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (Austria, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary,
Moldavia, Montenegro, Serbia, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Romania and
the Ukraine). The award seeks to encourage young scientists to engage in
the scientific examination of issues and questions specifically related to
the Danube, and to stimulate the scientific community in the Danube
region. The award will be endowed with € 1,200.- for each winner of the
Young Scientist Award.

The candidate has to be nominated by his/her hosting scientific
organisation (university, academy of sciences, etc.) meaning that the
candidate himself / herself cannot apply for the award. Every academic
institution can only nominate one candidate for their entire institution
(not one candidate per institute, faculty etc.). An international expert
jury will be established (including members of the Danube Rectors ́
Conference) that will be responsible for assessing all incoming
nominations and for drawing up a final ranking. The most highly ranked
candidate from each of the countries of the EU Strategy for the Danube
Region will be recommended for the award. The award ceremony is expected
to take place in Austria in May 2014 together with the regular Danubius
Award ceremony.
