Early career scientist awards
Three early career scientist awards will be presented at the conference (two for oral presentations and one for poster presentation). These awards will emphasize the quality of the presentations and not the career achievements of the early career scientists.
The awardee is the first author and major contributor of the research presented. They don't need be first-time presenters at an ASC, however, they should not have received a previous early career scientist award from ICES.
The prizes consist of certificates and €1,000 vouchers to be used to cover participation costs in an ICES training course, expert group meeting, symposium, or workshop, but not the ASC. The voucher must be redeemed within 24 months of the award.
Travel funds for early career scientists
The online application system for travel funds is closed, and successful recipients have been notified.
To be eligible, the applicant must:
be 35 years of age or younger
OR
have completed their PhD in the last five years
be of a nationality and affiliation in an ICES member country
have had an abstract accepted for ASC.
