ERCIM Cor Baayen Award
The Cor Baayen Award is an annual award given to a promising young researcher in computer science and applied mathematics.
In 1995, the award was created to honor the first ERCIM president.
As a young researcher award, nominees must have obtained their PhD in the three years before the yearly nomination deadline.
A researcher can be nominated for the award only once.
The award is presented as a check for 5000 Euro and a certificate. The awardee is then invited to ERCIM meetings the following autumn.
An article is published in ERCIM news with the name of the winner, and all nominees of the year.
