Young Speaker Contest
Every year the Young Speakers Contest is one of the highlights of the FYSICA meeting. It is a contest for the best oral presentation by an early career physicist (PhD candidate or post-doc) working at a university or research institute in The Netherlands. During a plenary session, three finalists will present their own research, in English, during a 10 minute presentation. All participants from the conference can cast a vote to select a winner.
From the list of all people that enter the competition, a jury will invite eight candidates to enter the semi-final at Leiden University, scheduled at Leiden University on Friday March 14th, where candidates will give a presentation-pitch to the jury that will select the three finalists. To prepare for the semi-final, selected candidates are invited to participate in an online training on science communication (on March 7th), a week before the semi-final.
If you would like to be on stage during FYSCIA2025 and have the opportunity to share your research with all conference participants, please consider entering the competition.
You can register by sending a mail to directeur@nnv.nl, including your name, your affiliation and position, and a PDF with CV and motivation (1 page max). The deadline for registration is 28 February 2025.
The three finalists in 2024 were: Eleanor Trimby (UvA), Lucas Maisel Lyceran (UU) and Anders Rehult (Nikhef).
