The Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards (formerly Division Outstanding Young Scientists Awards) recognise scientific achievement made by an Early Career Scientist in the field(s) covered by the related division.

Candidates for each division’s Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award are first evaluated by the relevant division president, who forwards the most outstanding candidate to the Chair of EGU’s Awards Committee. Four candidates are then selected by Council to receive the Union-level Arne Richter Awards for Outstanding Early Career Scientists. The remaining candidates are awarded by the relevant division.

For information on how to nominate scientists for EGU awards and medals, please check our nominations page and the guidelines for proposal and selection of candidates.
