Young Researcher Awards

The NN25 Young Researchers Awards target to honor and encourage graduate students whose academic achievements and current research in the field of Nanosciences & Nanotechnologies show a high level of excellence and distinction.

Each Winner of the Awards will benefit with a certificate accompanied with one free voucher (2900 Swiss Francs) that can be used for their submissions to Nanomaterials Journal. Nanomaterials (ISSN: 2079-4991) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal published semimonthly online by MDPI. It is indexed within Scopus, SCIE (Web of Science), and many other databases. Nanomaterials ranks Q1 in CiteScore, and Q2 in JCR categories. The average article processing time (from submission to publication) is about 33 days. Its latest Impact Factor is 4.4, and CiteScore is 8.5.
