About the Award
Following the first William H. F. Talbot Award at XNPIG2017 held in Zurich and the second at XNPIG2019 held in Sendai, the third William H. F. Talbot Award is given to a young scientist for exceptional contribution to the advancement of X-ray and neutron phase imaging with gratings, through either his/her outstanding technical developments or applications, as evidenced by the presentation at XNPIG2024 and supporting publications. 

Nominees are qualified if they have performed the work as part of a completed Ph.D. thesis during the five-year period prior to and including the conference, or are expected to receive their degree in the near future. The topics should be appropriate to the themes of the conference, and the work must be available to the award committee as conference papers, publications, or preprints at the time of nomination. Nominees must have submitted an abstract on their work requesting an oral presentation at XNPIG2024. The abstract submission deadline of the conference is also the deadline for submission of nominations for the award.

Besides the abstract submission for the presentation at XNPIG2024, each nominator should submit a William H. F. Talbot Award nomination form with the CV of the nominee, copies of relevant publications or preprints. Supporting letters of recommendation are strongly encouraged.
