Financial support for students
The participation of students to the ASAPP conference is considered a prime value to increase the scientific contents of the discussions, as well as to provide additional training to the generation of scientists that will develop, construct and operate future space experiments and space missions.
The conference organizers acknowledge the contribution from the conference sponsors, and in particular from the AstroParticle Physics European Consortium, that has provided a direct support of 1'000€, and from Hamamatsu - Photonics, that together with other contributions made possible to decrease the amount of the conference fee for 16 M.Sc. and Ph.D students, registered before the end of April, down to 100€ each.
M.Sc. and Ph.D students registering from May onwards, can still check the "financial support" during the registration and the fee will be kept to the "early bird" one (350€).
Best presentation award
A prize of 300CHF will be sponsored by MDPI Instruments and will be awarded as "Best presentation from young researchers" award. Eligible researchers are presenters of oral contributions at the conference that will have no more than 3 years of research activity after their Ph.D. at the date of the conference, and Ph.D. students. The eligibility should be communicated during the submission of the abstract.
The "Best presentation from young researchers" prize has been awarded to Luis Fariña from IFAE – Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology for his presentation titled "Gamma-ray performance of the HERD trigger system"
Best poster award
A prize of 300€ will be sponsored by the AstroParticle Physics European Consortium and will be awarded as "Best poster from young researchers" award. Eligible researchers are presenters of poster at the conference that will have no more than 3 years of research activity after their Ph.D. at the date of the conference, and Ph.D. students. The eligibility should be communicated during the submission of the abstract.
The "Best poster from young researchers" prize has been awarded to Roberta Pillera from Dipartimento Interateneo di Fisica del Politecnico e Università di Bari and INFN Bari for her poster titled "The fiber tracker of the Zirè instrument on board NUSES"
