EHPRG

The European High Pressure Group decided during its General Assembly held in Paderborn, Germany, July 1989, to attribute awards called EHPRG Awards. The aim is to promote high-pressure research of high quality and to encourage young researchers in the area.

The following rules were adopted:

1. The EHPRG Awards will be granted annually to one or two young promising scientists or engineers. The amount is fixed at 500 EURO each.
2. The work for which the award is given must refer to a high-pressure work carried out in any scientific area in any laboratory, even non-European. High pressure is here defined to mean above 1000 bar or 100 MPa.
3. The candidate must be a citizen of an European country.
4. The maximum age of the applicant is fixed at 35 in the year in which the award is granted.
5. At the time of application the candidate is required to be still active in the high-pressure area.
6. Applications must be forwarded in quadruplicate to the Secretary of the EHPRG via a senior person acting as sponsor for the applicant. The application form must be accompanied by a brief curriculum vitae, a two-page report of the work considered for application, the list of publications, invited lectures, communications, posters, and any other item which can be used to assess the suitability of the applicant.
7. The Organising Committee of EHPRG is the only body entitled to make a decision. The decisions are non-reversible. The Committee can submit the application to referees external to EHPRG.
8. The winners are expected to present an oral contribution at the EHPRG meeting at which the Award is granted. His/her registration and accomodation costs shall be covered by the Conference organisers.

Applications for the Annual EHPRG Award must be received by April 30th of the year to which the Award is referred.
