The Young Scientist Award was established during the 4th International Conference “Inverse Problems: Modeling and Simulation” in May 2008 and has been since awarded to young scientists who have done outstanding research in inverse problems and applications.

After the establishment of the Eurasian Association on Inverse Problems (EAIP) in 2015, the award was renamed the EAIP Young Scientist Award.

The EAIP Young Scientist Award (s) is presented to two young scientists under the age of 40 at the time of the IPMS conference, with particular merits in inverse problem analysis and its application. The candidates themselves or the institutions where the candidates are employed may submit nominations for the award. Nomination materials, cover letter and CV including a complete list of publications, should be submitted via email to the Secretariat of the Conference Inverse Problems: Modeling and Simulation ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) with a CC to Otmar Scherzer ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ). The application for candidacy begins six months before the date of each IPMS conference and lasts for four months. The evaluation of candidates by the EAIP Young Scientist Award Committee ends two months before the date of the conference.

The EAIP Young Scientist Award consists of an award plaque, a cash prize of EUR 500, and a fee waiver for the next IPMS conference.

The Award is given during the Opening Ceremony of each International Conference "Inverse Problems: Modeling and Simulation".

 The Association has established an "EAIP Award" to recognize outstanding scientific contributions to the field of inverse problems and continuous efforts to foster cooperation between researchers from Eurasian countries. Candidates for the award may be nominated by their organizations or EAIP Steering Committee members, and they may also apply themselves. Nomination materials (a cover letter and CV including a complete list of publications) should be submitted via email to the IPMS Conference Secretariat ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ). The application deadline for nominations is six months before the date of each IPMS conference.

The evaluation of candidates by the EAIP Award Committee ends two months before the date of the conference.

The EAIP Award is given at each International Conference on "Inverse Problems: Modeling and Simulation" during the Opening Ceremony.
