We would like to draw your attention to the Young Scientist Prize in Computational Physics which has recently been established by the C20 Commission on Computational Physics of IUPAP. The award is aimed at recognising outstanding achievements of scientists at an early stage of their careers in the broad field of computational physics.

Frequency/Venue:
· Triennially, up to three International Union of Pure and Applied Physics [IUPAP] Young Scientist Prizes in Computational Physics will be awarded.
· They will be announced and presented at the annual Conference on Computational Physics (CCP).
· It is intended that one award be made each year. However, in any given year, the selection committee may, at its discretion, may decide not to make an award. If so, multiple awards may be made in the following year.
· It is proposed that the first award be made at CCP2007 in September 2007, in Brussels
