“Italy made me” to award Italian researchers in the UK

(March 9, 2017) An annual award to young researchers in the UK: “Italy Made Me”, an initiative coordinated by the Italian Embassy in London, in collaboration with il Circolo, the Association of Italian Scientists in the United Kingdom (AISUK) and other Italian academic associations across the UK. The awards will be presented to Italian researchers operating in the United Kingdom who received part of their education in Italy, in recognition of innovative research conducted in each of the three European Research Council (ERC) domains: Life Sciences (LS), Physical and Engineering Sciences (PE),  Social Sciences and Humanities (SH). The deadline for applications is the 15 May 2017. The awards will be presented during the “Conference of Italian academics and researchers in the U.K.” which will be held at King’s College London on 30 June 2017. (Red)


ABOUT / AWARD PROCESS

The evaluation process for applications will be coordinated by the Office of the Scientific Attache of the Italian Embassy in London, and will be conducted with the help of the Embassy’s Scientific Council and AISUK. Recipients of the awards will be selected chiefly on the basis of the quality and significance of the research presented. Other factors, such as publications or other awards that candidates may have received will only be considered in instances where candidates have received a similar evaluation, and a tie break is needed. Applications will be assessed within the context of their own ERC domain, and will be viewed independently by at least three reviewers. These reviewers will be asked to rank applications in order of merit from first to last, with each position corresponding to a point value. The two candidates who received the highest average score in each ERC domain will be named the winners, and will receive a certificate at a formal ceremony in London, as well as have their name published on the Embassy’s website.
