Lagrange Award – Multibody System Dynamics Outstanding PhD Thesis Prize<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Lagrange Award<\/strong> was established in 2017 by the IFToMM Technical Committee for Multibody Dynamics<\/strong><\/a> and Springer<\/a><\/strong> with the aim of recognizing the outstanding achievements of a young researcher (under 35 years old) at the early stage of their scientific career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lagrange Award is presented annually by the IFToMM Technical Committee for Multibody Dynamics<\/strong><\/a> and Springer’s journal Multibody System Dynamics<\/a><\/strong> to recognize the most successful PhD thesis on Multibody Dynamics<\/strong> over the prior year as judged by the evaluation committee. The winner will receive a certificate, a one-year subscription to Multibody System Dynamics<\/a><\/strong>, and Springer books to the value of \u20ac 250. The decision will be announced during a Multibody Dynamics conference supported by IFToMM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Award Committee is composed by four members, namely the coordinator and three senior researchers in the field (proposed by the award coordinator and approved by the IFToMM TC for Multibody Dynamics).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
