A SINANO Institute Best Paper Award is given in the framework of the European EUROSOI-ULIS Conference.

It is renamed the “Androula Nassiopoulou Best Paper Award” in memoriam to her.

The Sinano Institute sponsors the European EUROSOI-ULIS Conference, which is in the same research area as the research domains of the Sinano Institute. Several Sinano Institute Members are also involved in the Steering and the Programme Committees.

  • A Medal (Sinano Institute/ULIS logos) is given every year to the best EUROSOI-ULIS paper Medal
  • An Award of 300€ is given to the first author of the Best Paper
