The European Association for Structural Dynamics announces seven research prizes and special awards:

The EASD Research Prizes are given in recognition of outstanding and sustained contributions to the following areas:

In each of those three areas Senior and Junior Prizes, respectively, will be awarded. Eligibility for Junior prizes, requires that the nominee is forty years old or younger and should not turn 41 in the year the award is presented.

Special Awards will be given for outstanding contributions to other important areas not encompassed above, such as Structural Dynamics Education, Transfer of Structural Dynamics Methods to the Engineering Practice, etc. Special Awards are also given to honor individuals who have made outstanding and sustained contributions in the field of Structural Dynamics and related fields generally over periods representing portions of their professional careers.

General guidelines and features of the research prizes and special awards are listed as follows:

Eligibility: all recipients shall be either members of EASD and/or contributors to past EASDs (European Conferences of Structural Dynamics).

Frequency: the research prizes shall not be given more frequently than once every three years. In Leuven, Belgium, the prizes will be given at EURODYN '11.

Special Awards, however, although generally given during EURODYNs can also be conferred at other occasions.
