Informatics Europe presents awards annually to recognise exceptional efforts in raising the standards of informatics research and education in Europe. We appreciate your ongoing support as we seek nominations for this year’s awards:

Check out the outstanding nominations from last year here. The Award carries a prize of EUR 3,000 sponsored by Springer, with an invitation to publish the awarded thesis in a dedicated Springer series.
• Minerva Informatics Equality Award: celebrate successful initiatives that foster women’s careers in informatics research and education at all stages. Check out here for some excellent Award submissions from previous years. The Award carries a prize of EUR 5,000 sponsored by Google.
