HAMBURG, Germany, October 21, 2024 – We are pleased to announce that the 2025 ISC Jack Dongarra Early Career Award is now open for nomination. We encourage community members to nominate early-career researchers they consider to have significantly contributed to scientific progress in their research fields.
The nomination will close on February 26, 2025. The guidelines for nominations are available on the ISC website. A prerequisite is that the researcher must have between 4 and 10 years of experience after completing their PhD.
ISC understands the challenges that young families and individuals face in their professional journeys. Therefore, the committee is open to extending the eligibility period by up to four years for those who have become parents, served as primary caregivers, or encountered significant personal challenges after graduation.
