[Rodney Douglas]

    CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS


      The 2021 Misha Mahowald Prize for Neuromorphic Engineering


      and


      The 2021 Mahowald Early Career Award

*The Misha Mahowald Prize* recognizes outstanding research in
neuromorphic engineering in a broad sense: neurally-inspired hardware,
software, and algorithms; as well as other novel architectures. The
award is for an individual or a group. The Prize is awarded by a jury of
international experts Chaired by Prof. Terrence Sejnowski, and carries a
prize of USD 10’000.

*The Mahowald Early Career Award* recognizes outstanding Master's
students, PhD doctoral students, or postdocs within one year of PhD
degree conferral date. The Award is for an individual (not a group) who
has created innovative neuromorphic hardware, software, or an algorithm.
The Award is decided by a jury of established mid-career scientists
Chaired by Prof. Andre van Schaik, and carries a prize of USD 2’000
together with a guaranteed seat at either the Capo Caccia or the
Telluride Workshops for Cognitive Neuromorphic Engineering.

Misha Mahowald, for whom the Prize and Award are named, was a
charismatic, talented and influential pioneer of neuromorphic
engineering whose creative life unfortunately ended prematurely. She
worked at the California Institute of Technology, Oxford University, and
was a founding member of the Institute of Neuroinformatics at the
University of Zurich and ETH Zurich. Her novel designs of brain-inspired
CMOS VLSI circuits for vision and computation have continued to
influence a generation of engineers.

*The submission deadline for both the Prize and the Award is at 23:59
UTC, 31 October 2021.*
