Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to launch the 2021 Electronics Young Investigator Award. This prize will be given to a young investigator in recognition of their excellence in the research field of electronics and its applications.

All nominations and applications will be assessed by an Evaluation Committee consisting of senior scholars in the field.

Candidate Eligibility and Requirements:

– Must have received a Ph.D. degree within the past 10 years within the scope of Electronics (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/electronics/about).
– Must be 40 years of age or under (as of 31 December 2020).

– A list of conferences that the candidate attended in 2020 as well as the research results presented.

The Award:

– CHF 1800 (Swiss francs).
– An offer to publish a paper free of charge without a fixed deadline in Electronics.

The candidates should be nominated by a senior expert in the field rather than send applications themselves. The letter should highlight their achievements and contributions to the field. Additional references will be requested by the committee if necessary.

Candidate nomination application materials should be submitted via the link (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/electronics/awards/submit/967).

We welcome nominations for this award until 28 February 2021.
