SIFA Young Scholar Prize

Since the Mid-term SIFA Conference held in Sassari in September 2015, SIFA has established the Young Scholar Prizes.

Up to five SIFA bursaries of 250 euros each are awarded to young scholars on the basis of the quality of the abstracts and their CVs during Mid-term and General SIFA Conferences.

Master and PhD students, and young scholars (max. 5 years from PhD award) not permanently affiliated to higher education institutions are eligible for the prize.
