the AUSTIN BARNES prize

The Austin Barnes Prize for the Best Two Posters presented (by young researchers) in an EUCMOS Conference was established in 2017 to honor the EUCMOS Emeritus President Prof. Austin J. Barnes. The Prize comprises a Diploma and free registration in the next EUCMOS conference. It aims to stimulate young researchers working on Molecular Spectroscopy.

In EUCMOS 2018, the selection jury of the Prize was composed by Profs. Michael Heise (Iserlohn - Germany), Sylvia Turrell (Lille - France), Michael Schmitt (Düsseldorf - Germany), and Dr. Igor Reva (Coimbra - Portugal).

In EUCMOS 2023, the selection jury of the Prize was composed by Profs. Michael Heise (Iserlohn - Germany), Sylvia Turrell (Lille - France) and Rui Fausto (Coimbra - Portugal).

In EUCMOS 2023 (Jyväskylä, Finland the congress chair (Jan Lundell) has decided to award the best presentation by a young researcher a prize.

Henry Mantsch Spectroscopy Prize for Young (under 35) Researchers

For EUCMOS 2025 (Wroclaw, Poland) the EUCMOS Steering Committee and the congress chair have decided to award the "Henry Mantsch Spectroscopy Prize for Young (under 35) Researchers". Besides a certificate, the prize has a money value of 1000 CHF, and is sponsored by "Spectroscopy Journal" (MDPI, Basel, Switzerland). The candidates to the Prize have to be under 35 and their work has to have demonstrated impact in the field of Spectroscopy (fundamental spectroscopy or applied spectroscopy). The winner will be chosen by the EUCMOS Steering Committee (Specific regulations for the Prize will be announced).
