Physics of Magnetism 2026 (PM'26)

Best Oral Presentation Awards for Young Researchers PM'26

The organizers plan to award three prizes for best talks by young researchers, i.e. Ph.D students and postdoctoral researchers under age 35. The possibility of submitting an oral presentation to participate in the competition and the acceptance of compliance with the competition regulations will be made available on the conference website after the acceptance of the submitted presentation.

A selection committee coordinated by prof. Tomasz Toliński, composed of eminent scientists participating in the conference, and members of the conference organizing committee, will choose the award winners. The committee will assess the quality, novelty and potential impact of the scientific content of the contributions, as well as the presentation style and clarity.

The awardees will be announced during the Closing Ceremony of the conference. The certificates and prize money will be sent via postal mail or bank transfer.

First Oral Prize of 350 EUR
Second Oral Prize of 250 EUR
Third Oral Prize of 200 EUR

Best Poster Contribution Awards for Young Researchers PM'26

Three prizes will be awarded to the registered young scientists, i.e. Ph.D. students and postdocs under the age of 35, presenting the best posters. The possibility of submitting a poster presentation to participate in the competition and the acceptance of compliance with the competition regulations will be made available on the conference website after the submitted presentation is accepted.

The jury, coordinated by prof. Maciej Krawczyk, will choose the winning posters by assessing their content (scientific quality, potential impact of the results, innovativeness of the study) and its presentation (the layout – clarity of the topics, and overall impression of the poster).

The winners will be announced during the Closing Ceremony. The awards will comprise certificates and the following monetary prizes, sent by postal mail or bank transfer.

First Poster Prize of 300 EUR
Second Poster Prize of 200 EUR
Third Poster Prize of 150 EUR

Best Presentation Award for the Young and Brilliant Session at PM'26

During this edition of the Physics of Magnetism conference, participants of the Young and Brilliant session will have the opportunity to compete for the Best Presentation Award.

The award, worth 150 EUR, is generously sponsored by JPhys Materials, an IOP Publishing journal. IOP Publishing is a leading society-owned scientific publisher dedicated to supporting the global research community through the dissemination of high-quality scientific knowledge.

JPhys Materials is an interdisciplinary journal that brings together researchers from across the broad field of materials science. The journal publishes original and impactful research articles, as well as reviews, perspectives, and tutorials covering the modelling, simulation, synthesis, characterization, and technological applications of materials, thereby fostering interactions between researchers from different disciplines.

The winner will be selected by a jury based on the following criteria:

depth and clarity in presenting the underlying physical problem;
overall quality and organization of the presentation;
ability to answer questions and actively engage with the audience during the discussion.

The Best Presentation Award aims to recognize outstanding scientific communication, creativity, and excellence among early-career researchers participating in PM'26.
