Scuola Normale Superiore and Laboratorio NEST are proud to present the PREMIO NEST 2019 for research in nanoscience. Sponsorized by Rivoira, a company of NIPPON GASES Group, the objective of the NEST Prize is to promote and recognise the activity of young scientists (less than 35 years old) working in Italy in the fields of nanoscience, represented by a submitted publication in the last two years on a peer review international journal in the field.
The prize is awarded by an evaluating committee composed by the Directors and/or Coordinators of the NEST centre of Scuola Normale Superiore, Istituto Nanoscienze of Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) and Center for Nanotechnology Innovation of Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT).
The NEST Prize consists of € 5,000 Euros cash prize for the winner, a trophy and support (fees, travel and sojourn expenses) to attend the conference (NanoInnovation) where the prize is awarded and, finally, the opportunity to present the research activity of the winner. The NEST Prize 2019 will be assigned at NanoInnovation 2020 Conference in Rome.
