Although the award is not restricted to European citizens it is essential that the research for which the prize is awarded has been undertaken in a European university, research institute or industry.</p> <p>Consequently, the award is directed to researchers who are showing exceptional promise as future leaders of European materials science working in Europe. Nominees for the award must not have reached his/her 40th birthday before 31<sup>st</sup> December 2025.</p> <p><em>A limited extension to the age limit will be considered for a female researcher who has undertaken a period of maternity leave.
