The prize is awarded to a researcher based on a single innovative contribution (a single paper, patent, lecture or piece of hardware) that has proven of high and broad impact on state-of-the-art NMR technology. The prize is sponsored by Varian Inc. and carries a monetary award of 15,000 Euro and will be awarded for the first time at the 16th EENC in Prague, June 9-14, 2002.
