Dear friends and colleagues,
herewith, I would like to ask you for your nominations for the Young Scientist Award in Socio- and Econophycis (5,000 EUR), which will be awarded during the annual Spring Meeting of the
German Physical Society in Berlin in the week from March 25-30, 2012.
The Young Scientist Award recognizes outstanding original contributions that use physical methods to
develop a better understanding of socioeconomic problems and is intended for scientists in the earlier stage of their career,
aged 40 or less.
Candidates can be from all over the world and do not necessarily need to be physicists.
The following list of our previous winners shows that we seek to reflect the rich variety of the field of socio- and econophysics:
2002: Damien Challet (minority games etc.)
2003: Vasiliki Plerou (financial markets etc.)
2004: Illes Farkas (crowd dynamics etc.)
2005: Reuven Cohen (complex networks etc.)
2006: Xavier Gabaix (Zipf's law of urban growth etc.)
2007: Katarzyna Sznajd-Weron (opinion formation etc.)
2008: Frabrizio Lillo (financial crashes etc.)
2009: Duncan Watts (small world networks, etc.)
2010: Dirk Brockmann (epidemic spreading, etc.)
2011: Santo Fortunato (sociophysics, etc.)
The prestige of the prize and its stimulating effects for the whole community depend on the number and quality of your nomimations.
Candidates will be assessed by an international award committee according to the originality of their contributions and their impact
on the development of the field. The outcome is of course not predictable in advance, but your effort will usually not be in vain.
Your nominations will be considered in the following year(s) as well, and nominees can certainly gain international recognition by the screening of the international award committee.
Thank you very much in advance for your valuable help. Your nominations can be uploaded now on this page until December 1st, 2011.
