ICTA-UAB Best Prizes

We would like to announce two new prizes to be awarded this year:

  • 2023 Best Postdoctoral Published Paper Prize for a female postdoctoral scientist or for a postdoctoral paper with a central gender focus or feminist epistemology, which can be written by either a male or female researcher.
     
  • 2023 Best PhD Dissertation Prize for a female scientist or for a dissertation with a central gender focus or feminist epistemology, which can be written by either a male or female researcher.


We have two internal committees of researchers who have generously accepted to review applications and select the winner for each category. We are thus all looking forward to submissions and see these prizes as a support to ICTA-UAB Gender Policy goals.  


Who nominates and submits? 

The supervisor or mentor of a postdoc, or the doctoral supervisor of a PhD (not the holder of the PhD thesis, nor the author of the postdoctoral paper).


How to submit? 

  1. Any supervisor or mentor based at ICTA-UAB who wishes to nominate a postdoctoral published paper (limited to one paper per supervisor/mentor) should write a brief nomination letter justifying the nomination and attach the published article. The nominated paper must be first-authored by a postdoctoral researcher who was affiliated with ICTA-UAB and had their paper published in 2023.
