Call for nominations

The Materials Today ‘Rising Star Awards’ recognize early career researchers in materials science and engineering who have demonstrated themselves to be exceptionally capable researchers with the potential to become future leaders in the field.

The next Awards will be presented at the ChinaNANO 2019 conference, taking place in Beijing from August 16-19th 2019. In 2019, the Awards will comprise an honorarium of USD 1000, and the opportunity to author a special review article for the flagship Materials Today journal. This year, the Awards will be presented in the fields of:

  • Quantum Materials
  • Soft and Intelligent Robotics
  • Energy Storage Materials
  • Materials for Sustainability or Energy Conversion

We are now seeking nominations for the 2019 Awards in the fields listed above, for candidates within 15 years of completing their PhD who have demonstrated themselves to be the most exceptionally capable researchers with the potential to become future leaders in the field: as such the criteria to be assessed will include the impact of the research the candidate has conducted and the contributions the candidate has made to the materials community, including but not limited to the candidate’s published research, as judged by the panel. Winners must be available to attend the ChinaNANO 2019 conference.
