2023 Caldarelli Prize in Magnetic Resonance for Young Investigators
Fréderic A. Perras
Ames National Laboratory, USA
Fréderic A. Perras is recognized for his rigorous, original, and creative contributions to fundamental and applied aspects of solid-state NMR, including dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and the application of solid-state NMR to study the structure of inorganic materials and catalysts. This prize acknowledges Fred’s insightful contributions to both experimental and theoretical aspects.
The Caldarelli Prize is kindly sponsored by Bruker Biospin.
2023 Regitze R. Vold Memorial Prize
Rob Schurko
Florida State University & NHMFL, Tallahassee USA
Rob Schurko has made a large number of important contributions to the field of solid-state NMR over the past 25 years. His research interests are very diverse, and he has made particularly impactful discoveries in the areas of quadrupolar nuclei and applications to pharmaceuticals. He contributed to the development of several useful broad-band pulse sequences and related techniques which have enabled the routine acquisition of ultrawide-line NMR spectra. His ongoing work on crystal structure prediction using novel NMR crystallography methods holds promise for the characterization of novel crystal forms used in the pharmaceutical industry.
Regitze R. Vold Memorial Prize Lecture
The Regitze R. Vold Memorial Prize Lecture will be awarded to an outstanding contribution selected by the scientific committee. The Prize was created by the founders of the Alpine Conference, in memory of Regitze R. Vold.
Caldarelli Prize in Magnetic Resonance for Young Investigators
The prize is aiming to recognize the contribution of young scientists who made a personal and recent ground-breaking contribution to the field of magnetic resonance in solids. Scientists are eligible within 10 years after completing their Ph.D. degree (extensions are possible under certain circumstances).
The prize is dedicated to the memory of Stefano Caldarelli, who was one of the founders of the Alpine Conference, and is supported by Bruker Biospin.
Nominations must be received by email () by April 28th 2023 and include:
- Nomination Letter (including the nominee’s name, affiliation and email), optionally up to 2 seconding letters.
- Curriculum Vitae (2 pages max)
- Highlights of the nominee’s contribution to the field, including a selection of up to 10 publications (2 pages max)
- The proposed citation for the prize.
Prizes for best round-table talks
In 2023 prizes will be awarded on the basis of the round-table talks. Both prizes are based on votes from the participants: one for the most requested student/postdoc round table abstract and one for the highest rated student/postdoc round-table presentation based on votes cast during the conference. Only presentations by students or postdocs are eligible for the round table prizes.
A limited number of sponsored student grant will be available. Applications must be submitted before 28 April 2023.
To initiate your application select “Yes” from the drop down menu next to “Are you applying for a student grant?” in your form in the Participant Area (you need to first create and log into your account). Please also specify whether you intend to attend pre-conference tutorials on Sunday morning (participation in the tutorials is optional). Then, by April 28 2023, you need to send the following three documents by email to :
1. A copy of the abstract for which you are the presenting author,
2. A letter of recommendation from your supervisor,
3. A photo of your current valid student ID card or an official letter from your institution confirming that you are a student.
If your application is successful, your student grant will cover the registration fee, all meals and hotel nights during the conference (4 or 5 nights (if attending Sun morning tutorials) in a *** hotel, twin room – dinner on Monday night is not included). You have to cover your travel costs.
If your application is not successful, we will provide you with instructions for registering as a full participant.
Please note that your abstract will not be automatically transferred into the web database (whether your application is successful or not) so you have to additonally enter it in the Participant Area as any other participant. If you don’t do that your abstract won’t be included in the program.
