Awards Session

Every year, as part of the ECSS program, Informatics Europe organises a joint Award ceremony with ERCIM, where the winners of three awards are presented:

• The Best Practices in Education Award recognising educational initiatives across Europe that improve the quality of Informatics teaching and the attractiveness of the discipline.

• The Minerva Informatics Equality Award recognising best practices in departments or faculties of European universities and research labs that encourage and support the careers of women in Informatics research and education.

• The Cor Baayen Young Researcher Award recognising a promising young researcher in computer science and applied mathematics. The award was created in 1995 to honour the first ERCIM President.

The award winners have the opportunity to present their achievements in a short talk during the Awards session.
