ICMPC SEMPRE: Young Researcher Award
The Young Researcher Award was established in 2008 by ICMPC jointly with SEMPRE (the Society for Education, Music and Psychology Research). Since then, it is awarded to students and young (meaning “new”) researchers who submit a high quality research paper and demonstrate the potential to be leading researchers in the field of Music Perception and Cognition. The selection process involves a panel of senior researchers who evaluate full papers; the exact selection process depends on the conference. Award winners are granted a small cash prize and the opportunity to present their work at special plenary sessions. The aim of this award is to motivate students and early-career researchers to contribute influential and original work to the field.
