Flygare Awards
To be eligible for 2025, nominees must have received their PhD between five (November 14, 2020) and ten (November 15, 2015) years ago, must have presented at least one previous talk at the Symposium, and must be available to deliver a lecture during a plenary session in the year they apply. Candidates will be evaluated based on their independent contributions relative to the time that has elapsed since their PhD.
