GANIL PhD Award

The GANIL Thesis Award recognizes and rewards achievements of PhD students who earned their doctoral degree based on GANIL experiments or a theoretical study closely related to research at GANIL. The award is granted periodically and awarded during a ceremony at the Colloque GANIL, where the winner will have the opportunity to present her or his work. The award comes with an endowment of 1000 Euros. Travel and accommodation at the Colloque GANIL will be covered for the award winner.

Nominated theses will be judged on their content, originality, clarity of writing, and impact on the scientific activities of GANIL and the related wider field of research. Given the international profile of GANIL, only theses written in English will be considered for the award. Nominations will be evaluated by a committee comprising representatives of the Scientific Council, the Programme Advisory Committee, the GANIL User Executive Committee, and the GANIL management. Only PhD theses that were defended in the years 2019 and 2020 are eligible for the 2021 Thesis Award, which will be presented at the Colloque GANIL in Autrans-Méaudre en Vercors in September 2021.

Candidates for the Thesis Award should be nominated by at least two scientists who are familiar with the work (e.g. the PhD supervisor, a thesis referee, or collaborator). Nominations should be sent to guec@ganil.fr before June 15, 2021.

The following documents should be included:

• The nomination form (download the form);
• A support letter (maximum two pages) signed by the nominators;
• A synopsis of the thesis (maximum two pages);
• The nominee’s list of publications and conference contributions.
• If the thesis is available online, the URL should be given in the nomination form, otherwise an electronic copy should be provided.
