EACES PhD Thesis Award

Update (April 7, 2020):

Due to the emergency and travel restrictions linked to the COVID-19 disease, we had to take the decision that the 16th Biannual EACES Conference planned for  September 2020 in Naples has to be postponed. 
Consequently, there will also be no 2020 edition of the EACES PhD Award. Hence, the call for this award is suspended for the time being.
The 16th EACES Conference will be postponed to September 2021 – and take place in Naples. The exact date will be published soon on our websites eacesconference.eu and eaces.eu. We will then also re-open the call  for the EACES PhD Award. All those who have been eligible to apply for the 2020 award will remain eligible to apply then, of course.

Jürgen Jerger, President of EACES
