The Volker Heine Young Investigator Award recognizes individuals for their outstanding computational work in the areas covered by the Psi-k mission statement (“…to develop fundamental theory, algorithms, and computer codes in order to understand, predict, and design materials properties and functions”). There will be one award of 2’500€ and four runner-up prizes of 500€ each.

Young researchers are invited to put themselves forward for the Volker Heine Young Investigator Award. Details of how to apply plus a description of the selection process can be found on the award website. The deadline for applications is 15 April 2021.

Under normal circumstances the selected finalists would have presented their work during the Psi-k Conference. However, with the postponement of the Conference to 2022 the finalists will now present at a special Volker Heine Award Ceremony online seminar on 9 September 2021.

We look forward to receiving your applications for this prestigious award.
