SPring-8 Budding Researchers Support Workshop and Budding Researchers Award

The SPring-8 Budding Researchers Support Workshops were annually held to give opportunities for those who did the proposals to present their achievements led by the SPring-8 Budding Researchers Support Proposal. The workshops also served as the selection for the Budding Researchers Awards.

Criteria for Awards
　- Novelty, originality and expansivity of research theme
　- Necessity and effectivity of SPring-8 in research outcome
　- Initiative for research

Selection Method
　　Preliminary selection: screening of submitted documents for the awards to select five or six candidates by the awards committee
　　Final selection: oral presentation and dissertation at SPring-8 Budding Researchers Support Workshop
