AWARDS

Richard R. Ernst Prize Nominations

The Ernst Prize

Nominations are invited for the award of the “Richard R. Ernst Prize in Magnetic Resonance” (The Ernst Prize),named after magnetic resonance pioneer and Nobel Laureate Prof. Richard R. Ernst. The award will be presented at EUROMAR 2023 in Glasgow (Scotland, UK) to recognize ‘recent beneficial applications of Magnetic Resonance’.

The Ernst Prize is intended to award achievements going beyond fundamental research, for ground-breaking applications of new or of previously known techniques in all areas of magnetic resonance. It is intended for research published within the last three years, although the origins of the ideas and experiments may have been described in previous publications. In special cases, and at the discretion of the Prize Committee, the award may be for cumulative achievements over a longer period of time.

The Ernst Prize is intended to be awarded to a single individual; however, it may be awarded to up to three scientists if the Prize Committee deems that their contributions to the development of the applications are of equal value. Former prize recipients include Alex Pines (2016), Robert Griffin (2017), Claudio Luchinat (2018), Daniella Goldfarb and Angela Gronenborn (2019), Clare Grey (2020), Lucio Frydman and Jan-Henrik Ardenkjaer-Larsen (2021) and Harald Schwalbe (2022).

The Prize comes with a purse of 10,000 Euros; it is sponsored by the Bruker BioSpin Corporation, and is awarded annually at the EUROMAR conference. The 2023 Ernst Prize committee is made by Profs. Lucio Frydman (Chair), Daniella Goldfarb, Angela Gronenborn, Clare Grey, Jan-Henrik Ardenkjaer-Larsen, Marc Baldus, John Parkinson and Óscar Millet.
