      Selection Process

The winner of the award will be determined in two steps. First, a review 
committee will evaluate the submission material and identify a short 
list of three candidates. Second, these three candidates will be invited 
to give a presentation of their work in an online session with the 
review jury. The jury will then select the winner. The selection process 
will be directed by the following criteria:

  * Originality and depth of contribution,
  * Methodological soundness,
  * Form and quality of presentation, and
  * Significance for the research field.
