Since 2010, EMU awards grants at relevant international conferences to young scientists working in Mineralogical Sciences and allied disciplines. Young scientists include undergraduate and graduate students and young researchers within 4 years after completion of their PhD. EMU usually delegates the choice of the recipients of the prize to the convenors of the sessions; applicants should contact them directly once they submit their abstract. Prizes consist of financial support in a sum predefined by the Executive Committee of EMU. They are handed to the recipients by EMU representatives at the conference and photographs and a brief description of the recipient and the awarded contribution are posted on this web page.
