To promote the participation of young researchers, ERS IASC will offer three prizes, each worth of 500,00 Euro (five hundred Euro), for the three best contributions submitted by young participants (upper age 35 years on August 29, 2008).
The SPC of the COMPSTAT'2008 symposium will take responsibility for the choice of prize winners and the chairman of the SPC will ask the chairman of the BoD for formal approval.
The prizes will be presented by the SPC chairman and the chairman of BoD ERS during the closing session.
