ISNSCE Awards
The ISNSCE grants several awards to encourage and publicize accomplishment in the fields of nanoscale science and technology. These awards are announced at the two conferences. The awards are:
The Ned Seeman Nanoscience Prize which is presented at the Foundations of Nanoscience (FNANO) conference each April. The prize recognizes and encourages outstanding research in all areas of nanoscience. It may be awarded for theory, experiment, modelling, or applications of nanoscience to any field of study, including but not limited to biology, chemistry, materials science, physics or computation. The winner of the prize receives $5,000 USD and is invited to give a keynote lecture at FNANO. The prize has been granted annually since 2007.
The Rozenberg Tulip Award in DNA Computing which is presented at the DNA Computing and Molecular Programming (DNA) conference each August. This award recognizes outstanding achievements in the field of Biomolecular Computing and Molecular Programming. The award has been granted annually since 2001.
The Robert Dirks Molecular Programming Prize which is presented at the Foundations of Nanoscience (FNANO) conference each April. The prize recognizes exceptional early-career achievement by a researcher working in any area of molecular programming, whether theory, experiment, computation, or a combination thereof. The prize has been granted annually since 2016.
The Student and Postdoc Awards which are presented at the Foundations of Nanoscience (FNANO) conferences and the DNA Computing and Molecular Programming (DNA) conferences. These awards are:
- The Best Student Paper Award (DNA)
- The Best Student Presentation Award (DNA)
- The Best Student and Postdoc Presentation Award (FNANO)
- The Best Student and Postdoc Poster Award (DNA and FNANO)
