ERCIM Cor Baayen Award

The Cor Baayen Award is an annual award given to a promising young researcher in computer science and applied mathematics. In 1995, the award was created to honor the first ERCIM (European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics) president.

As a young researcher award, nominees must have obtained their PhD in the three years before the yearly nomination deadline. A researcher can be nominated for the award only once. The award is presented as a check for 5000 Euro and a certificate. The awardee is then invited to ERCIM meetings the following autumn. An article is published in ERCIM news with the name of the winner, and all nominees of the year.
