From Biofuel Cells to Voice Recognition Enhancement: EURYI Showcases the Future of European Science in Prague


October 2006

STRASBOURG, France, October 13/PRNewswire/ -- The brightest and most creative young minds in science are coming to Prague on 13 October 2006 to get recognition for their untapped potential in creating the European science's future and for their breakthrough research ranging from voice recognition applications to the world's smallest in vivo biofuel cell.
At the 3rd European Young Investigator Award (EURYI) Ceremony, 25 young researchers from across Europe are meeting in the Czech Republic to receive a diploma and a guarantee of project funding of as much as EUR1.25 million for their ideas which have the potential to have a significant impact on our everyday lives.

EURYI, which is coordinated by the European Science Foundation (ESF) on behalf of the European Heads of Research Councils (EuroHORCs), is awarding these young researchers EUR897,500 to EUR1,250,000, comparable in size to the Nobel Prize. The youngest researcher from the group is 30 years of age.

"Cultivating ground-breaking scientific discoveries in Europe has always been the goal for the ESF and EURYI has fittingly become the perfect vehicle to realise it," commented Professor Bertil Andersson, Chief Executive of the ESF. "The Award also signifies what these young researchers could possibly accomplish with their scientific careers."

The First Call of the scheme was launched in September 2003, and resulted in 25 awards being made in July 2004. A further 25 awards were made in 2005 after the Second Call. The Fourth Call of EURYI is currently accepting applications.

The list of this year's awardees includes researchers who will be based in 11 countries - Denmark (2), Finland (1), France (4), Germany (5), Greece (1), Hungary (1), Italy (2), the Netherlands (5), Spain (1), Sweden (2) and Switzerland (1).

The EURYI Awards are offered by 20 European national research organisations in an open competition with no "juste retour". Candidates are selected on the basis of their future potential and their academic and research excellence. Competition has been intense, with 457 applications received for this year.

Candidates are selected by a two-stage process, firstly at the national level by the relevant Participating Organisation and secondly at the international level by highest-level scientific panels managed by the ESF.
