Richard R. Ernst Prize in Magnetic Resonance 2024
The EUROMAR Board of Trustees and Ernst Prize committee request nominations for the “Richard R. Ernst Prize in Magnetic Resonance” (Ernst Prize), named after magnetic resonance pioneer and Nobel Laureate Prof. Richard R. Ernst, which will be awarded at the EUROMAR 2024 in Bilbao (Spain) to recognize ‘recent beneficial applications of Magnetic Resonance’.
The Ernst Prize is intended to award achievements going beyond fundamental research, for groundbreaking applications of new or of previously known techniques in all areas of magnetic resonance. It is intended for research published within the last three years, although the origins of the ideas and experiments may have been described in previous publications. In special cases, and at the discretion of the Prize Committee, the award may be for cumulative achievements over a longer period of time.
The Ernst Prize is intended to be awarded to a single individual; however, it may be awarded to up to three scientists if the Prize Committee deems that their contributions to the development of the applications are of equal value.
Former prize recipients are Alex Pines (2016), Robert Griffin (2017), Claudio Luchinat (2018), Daniella Goldfarb and Angela Gronenborn (2019), and Clare Grey (2020)), Lucio Frydman and Jan-Henrik Ardenkjaer-Larsen (2021), Harald Schwalbe (2022), and Jack Freed (2023).
The Prize comes with a purse of 10,000 €; it is sponsored by the Bruker BioSpin Corporation, and is awarded annually at the EUROMAR conference.
The 2024 Ernst Prize committee is made by Profs. Lucio Frydman (chair), Jan-Henrik Ardenkjaer-Larsen, Harald Schwalbe, Lucia Banci, John Parkinson, Oscar Millet and Ville-Veikkp Telkki.
Nominations must include and fulfill the following conditions: the nominee's name, affiliation, address, phone number, and e-mail; a brief (ca. 200 words) description of the work serving as the basis for the nomination, and a list of relevant publications (~5); Nominees may not have received the Guenther Laukien Prize or the Russell Varian Prize in the preceding five years; Self-nominations are not accepted.
Nominations for the 2024 Ernst Prize will be considered until 15th April, 2024 and should be sent to Lucio Frydman, the Chair of the Ernst Prize Committee.
