Who can participate?
Any author of a scientific
paper (no matter if she/he is still at the university or research institute).
What scientific works can be submitted?
You can participate with nearly every work, e.g.
research or conference articles, posters and
scientific papers. You
are allowed to submit more than one work.
What kind of document should I send if I want to participate?
The paper (max. 15 pages), conference article or
poster, a short CV and if available pictures and/or videos.
What kind of document should I send if my work is a
master thesis?
As our panel of judges is not able to read a full
thesis, a paper is always preferred. If the author
is able to make a summary in English of not more than
10 pages summarizing the “materials testing”
part of the thesis it will be accepted too.
Can I only participate when a ZwickRoell testing machines was used?
No, every brand of materials testing machines can be
used in the scientific work.
How old can the paper be?
If the content of your work is still of actual
interest, the publication may date back to 2014.
How will the winners be determined?
A panel of judges (ZwickRoell experts
committee and 3 internationally acknowledged professors) will nominate the
winners.
Award ceremony
The ZwickRoell Science Award 2020 winners will be honored during the ZwickRoell Academia Day 2021.
ZwickRoell is bearing all travel and accommodation expenses of the winners to participate the rewarding ceremony.
