SPIN Excellent Paper Award

As part of our activities in the NCCR SPIN, we plan to recognize up to three outstanding papers with a SPIN excellent paper award. The SPIN PIs can nominate candidate papers in recognition of a remarkable achievement in research. A committee will evaluate the submissions and the winners will be announced at the annual meeting in Pontresina in June 2022. The award consists of a certificate, listing on the SPIN page, and a monetary prize of CHF 700 for the first author(s) of the paper to be used on a team event. 

Nominated work needs to be published in a scientific journal on a topic relevant to the NCCR SPIN including an acknowledgment of NCCR SPIN. At least one author needs to be from SPIN, ideal is a collaboration of authors from different institutions of the NCCR SPIN network. The paper must be published between August 2020 and May 2022. 

To nominate a publication, PIs can send mariann.buehler@unibas.ch a few lines describing the nature of the achievement and what makes it remarkable and worth the recognition, including a link to the publication. The nomination deadline is Friday, May 13, 2022.
