CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - MARIE CURIE PRIZE

The Marie Curie Actions invite their current and former fellows to participate in this year's Marie Curie Prize contest. The competition will be held in three distinct categories:

    - Communicating Science ;
    - Innovation and Entrepreneurship; and
    - Promising Research Talent.

Application process will be based on nomination by a peer (colleague, professor, employer, host institution) who has the capacity to judge the fellow. For the Promising Research Talent category, nominated fellows must have obtained their research results as an early stage researcher in an FP6 or FP7 Marie Curie project. For the other two categories, individuals – current or former Marie Curie Fellows from FP6 and FP7 - are eligible.

Eligibility:

The contest is open to all Marie Curie Fellows and alumni from FP6 and FP7.

The winners will be selected by a jury composed of prominent academics, scientists and experts in the different Prize categories.
The Awards Ceremony of the Marie Curie Prize will be held at the occasion of the Cyprus Presidency Conference on 5-6 November in Nicosia, Cyprus.

The winners in each category will have their travel and accommodation costs for the conference reimbursed and will receive an award certificate and a trophy.

Deadline: 31 August 2012
