Europlanet Career Medals 2026 – Call Now Open

Deadline for nominations: 30 April 2026 

The Europlanet Career Medals are an opportunity to honour outstanding contributions from individuals of three different scientific career stages to the scientific fields covered by the Europlanet Science Congress (EPSC).  

One Europlanet Medal is awarded every year in each of the categories: Early-Career, Mid-Career and Lifetime Achievement. The categories are based on the scientific age of a researcher at time of submission. The Europlanet Mid-Career Medal honours the memory and the outstanding figure of Paolo Farinella (1953-2000), an extraordinary scientist and person, in whose name the Paolo Farinella Prize (2011-2024) was previously awarded. 

Find the nomination criteria and the nomination submission form on the Europlanet Medals website. 

The winners of the awards will be selected by the end of June and will be announced on the Europlanet and the EPSC2026 website.

We look forward to receiving your nominations and honour those who have been doing outstanding work in the exchange of scientific knowledge and ideas!
