Call for Nominations
Deadline: 7 March 2024
The Presburger Award recognises outstanding contributions by a young
scientist in theoretical computer science, documented by a published
paper or a series of published papers. It is named after Mojzesz
Presburger who accomplished his ground-breaking work on decidability of
the theory of addition (known today as Presburger arithmetic) as a
student in 1929. The award is conferred annually by the European
Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) at the EATCS
International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP).
Nominated scientists have to be young scientists as of January 1st of
the year of the award, by either being at most 35 years old (that is,
for 2024, the nominee should be born in 1988 or later), or having
finished their PhD at most 6 years ago. The eligibility is extended due
to leaves of absence according to the same rules as the ERC starting
grant: https://erc.europa.eu/apply-grant/starting-grant.
Nominations for the Presburger Award can be submitted by any member or
group of members of the theoretical computer science community, but not
by the nominee themselves nor the advisors for their master's thesis or
doctoral dissertation.
The Presburger Award committee for 2024 consists of Uriel Feige (The
Weizmann Institute, chair), Tal Malkin (Columbia University), and Joël
Ouaknine (Max Planck Institute for Software Systems). Nominations,
consisting of a two page justification and (links to) the relevant
publications, as well as additional supporting letters, should be sent
by e-mail to:
The subject line of every nomination should start with "Presburger Award
2024", and the message must be received before March 7th, 2024.
The award includes an amount of 1000 Euro and an invitation to ICALP
2024 (https://compose.ioc.ee/icalp2024/) for a lecture.
