The EuroVis Young Researcher Award is given each year to one or two early-career researchers in the field, who have already made a significant contribution to visualization in general, and more specifically to the European visualization community (e.g., through outstanding scientific contributions to the EuroVis conference). The intent of this award is to recognize people early on in their career who have already made a notable contribution and are likely to make more.
Each year, the award is presented at the opening ceremony of the annual EuroVis conference, and winners receive a special certificate.

Award Committee: The committee consists of three to five members from the visualization community. Each member is serving a three to five year term. The following list of rules is proposed:
