For the 12th time, the Europäische Union der Hörakustiker eV (EUHA) will be giving its Sponsorship Award for the next generation of acoustic researchers. It will be presented during the opening ceremony of the 66th International Congress of Hearing Aid Acousticians in Hanover on 12 October 2022.
Nowhere do young people have a better opportunity to present the results of their research to such a broad international audience than at the world's largest congress of its kind. It is a chance for recent graduates to discuss their latest findings with industry stakeholders outside the usual publication channels - an ideal meeting place to examine points of view and make positions clear.
In addition, the next generation of researchers can look forward to prize monies of €3,000 for first prize, €2,000 for second prize, and €1,000 for third prize.
The EUHA launched the Sponsorship Award in 2010 to encourage young talent and help raise awareness of its work. EUHA vice president Eva Keil-Becker (pictured), who is the chairwoman of the sponsorship award jury, explains: "It's great to see what has become of our former award winners. They have their feet firmly on the ground, working both in research and in practical settings. The EUHA Sponsorship Award can serve as a springboard for a career in hearing aid acoustics."
