Purpose of the Award.

The purpose of this award is to increase motivation and contribution to research and development in agricultural engineering by young engineers.  

Paper Topic

The EurAgEng YOUNG ENGINEER’S BEST PAPER AWARD  is based on the content of papers describing the development of innovative products or any technical subject applicable to the solution of a problem in mechanization or engineering applied to an agricultural, food, or biological system.

Process:

This is very easy for the Young Engineer. The On-Line Abstract Submission includes a tick box as below

 □ Young Engineer’s Best Paper: must be < 35 years, first author and giving an oral presentation

The Young Engineer;

• must be the first author,
• must attend the conference and
• must give the paper as an oral presentation.

The “tickbox” will highlight potential papers from the submitted abstracts. The Conference Organiser will produce a list of relevant abstracts for the lead judge who will choose a manageable number, 10-15, from the best ranking abstracts.

The corresponding full papers, representing the 10-15 selected abstracts, will be requested from the Conference Organizer who will forward these 10-15 full papers when they are received. The judges will select the winner.  There will be no reserve; if the Selected Awardees do not meet all criteria they will be eliminated.

Nature of the Award

A Plaque and certificates for the Young Engineer and each of the authors.

If you meet the criteria REMEMBER TO TICK THE BOX “Young Engineer’s Best Paper” when submitting your abstract.

AWARDS

EurAgEng Young Engineers Best Paper Award 2022

This year, we could proudly announce two Young Engineers Best Papers Awards! This paper is awarded from the oral presentations and papers submitted to the biannual AgEng conferences, in support of young researchers to continue on the path of novel, innovative research and contribute actively to the profession of agricultural and biosystems engineering.

Jose Diaz-Olivares from the KULeuven, Belgium has been awarded for his conference paper with the title Near-Infrared Spectroscopic Sensor System for Milk Competition Analysis: an On-Farm Real-Time Application.

And Matthias Trimmel from Josephinum Research, Austria has been awarded for his conference paper with the title Prospective Thermal Processing of Soybeans Using a Bean Characteristic Model.

We sincerely congratulate both young engineers!
