Awards

Each year we have three best paper awards at the conference: one for the main track, one for posters, and one for workshops (selected from all workshop papers). The best paper awards are sponsored by Springer, and chosen by a dedicated committee.

This year we are proud to announce three new awards, in addition to the three above. These awards are sponsored by the University of Amsterdam Fund and amount to 500 EUR each.

  • Originality Award
    We are looking for papers that address either completely novel ways to model and simulate systems, or papers that address new computational application domains. Or combinations of both.
  • Industrial Relevance Award
    We are evaluating papers against the potential use for industrial applications. Papers need to show at least a proof of concept.
  • Societal Relevance Award
    We are living in a world full of challenges, from climate change to geopolitical tensions, all these challenges weigh heavy on our individual and societal well-being. Computational science can help understanding and even mitigating these challenges. We will evaluate papers with this in mind.
