ESAS awards biannually three prizes to researchers under the age of 30 for outstanding work presented in person by poster or oral during the EUCAS Conference. One prize is awarded in each of the three subject areas of EUCAS: Electronics, Large scale applications, and Materials. The main criteria for the award of these prizes are the originality of the work and the general quality of the poster or oral presentation. Each prize-winner receives a printed certificate and a monetary award.
