The Young Author Prize recognizes the best paper presented at the IFAC HMS 2025 by an author under the age of 30 as of November 3, 2025. The award is open to the first author of the paper, who must also present the results at the Symposium. The prize includes a monetary award of 500 EUR and a certificate, which will be presented during the closing ceremony of the Symposium.
Nominations:
Nominations for the prize may be submitted by the author’s supervisor or colleagues (self-nominations are not allowed). Nominations must be made using the Young Author Prize nomination form and submitted through the IFAC PaperPlaza conference manuscript management system. The nomination form should include a clear statement confirming that the nominee is under 30 years of age as of November 3, 2025.
Selection Process:
The IFAC HMS 2025 Young Author Prize Selection Committee will review the submissions, considering the paper reviews and their own assessment of the work. A shortlist of finalists will be created, and authors will be notified accordingly. The winner will be determined during the Symposium based on both the quality of the written paper and the oral presentation delivered by the nominee.
