Schieber Prize

Purpose
The International Organization for Crystal Growth Schieber Prize, sponsored by the Journal of Crystal Growth is awarded to a young author to recognize his or her outstanding scientific publications in the field of Crystal Growth. The prize will be awarded at the 15th International Conference on Crystal Growth, Salt Lake City, Utah 12-17 August 2007.

Nature
The prize consists of travel and accommodation expenses (to a maximum of USD5000) to the ICCG conference and a certificate citing the contributions made by the recipient. The prize is awarded every 3 years during the  ICCG conference.

Establishment & Support
The prize began in 2004 and is sponsored in full by The Journal of Crystal Growth (Elsevier B.V.). The term of sponsorship and scope of the prize will be reviewed every 6 years.
