The European Young Researchers’ Award (EYRA) is granted to researchers demonstrating outstanding research performance. At the same time, the award aims to inspire early stage researchers and experienced researchers to incorporate a European dimension and perspective into their research.
The Award is granted each year but the prize-giving-ceremony is held every two years at the Euroscience Open Forum (ESOF) where the two recipients will present their work. The Award consists of a Certificate and a part of the award will be monetary in the form of a travel and accommodation grant for the stay in the ESOF city.
