The NOVOFER Foundation for Technical and Intellectual Creation, under the
auspices of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Informatics and
Communications and the National Office for Research and Technology, announces a
competition for young researchers who have already made a significant contribution
to science, inspired by the achievements of Dennis Gabor (in the fields of applied
physics, basic research in technology, or in studies that have established informatics),
or to those areas which exploit the research achievements in the fields above (e.g.
medical sciences). Applicants should be 35 years old or younger in the year of
submitting the application; applicants having a Ph.D. degree or participating in Ph.D.
courses would have an advantage.
The International Dennis Gabor Award (IDGA) aims at inspiring young scientists to
produce outstanding scientific discoveries suitable for practical application, and also
at motivating co-operation among researchers of different nationalities.
The Award includes a 130 mm-diameter pure silver medal illustrating a hologram of
