Up to three dissertations will be selected by the committee for year 2024. The dissertations will be evaluated on the basis of originality and potential impact on their respective fields and on Theoretical Computer Science.
Each of the selected dissertations will receive a prize of 1000 Euro. The award receiving dissertations will be published on the EATCS web site, where all the EATCS Distinguished Dissertations will be collected.
