The Nokia Bell Scientific Award 2023 was awarded to Nicolas Englebert, Postdoctoral researcher at ULB, for his work in the field of optical communications.
This Belgian Prize of €8.000 is awarded for a doctoral thesis in the field of information and communication technologies.
Nicolas Englebert completed his PhD thesis ("Temporal solitons in coherently driven active cavities") as a FRIA FNRS Fellow at ULB. The jury recognized the significant advances the winner has made in the field of optical communications, publishing his results in high-impact journals and filing a patent. His work has already received significant recognition within the scientific community.
The award was presented at an academic session held at Nokia Bell in Antwerp on September 19, 2023, attended by representatives from Nokia, FNRS and academia, and during which Nicolas Englebert presented his work.
An independant Jury, appointed by the FNRS and the FWO, will evaluate all applications according to the following evaluation criteria:
The final decision will be made by the Board of Trustees of the Fund SofinaBoël for Education and Talent, on proposition of the FNRS/FWO Jury’s recommendations.
The FRFS-FNRS and the WEL Research Institute announce the opening of the “WELBIO Investigator Programmes” call, funded by the Walloon region, for strategic research of excellence in life sciences, with a view to translate discoveries into industrial applications in all fields of medical, pharmaceutical and veterinary biotechnology.
This call is open to researchers from the universities of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation who are either established (Advanced grants, max. €350,000/year) or at the beginning of their career (Starting grants, max. €200,000/year).
Calendar:
Context of the call:
The WELBIO (Walloon Excellence in Life Sciences and Biotechnology) funding instrument corresponds to a strategic axis of the FRFS and a department of the WEL Research Institute. Through this instrument, Wallonia grants significant resources over several years to the WELBIO Investigators within the WEL Research Institute to develop ambitious research programmes that will lead to major scientific breakthroughs. These programmes represent a pillar of the Investigators’ laboratories and are flexible so the research scope can be adapted over time as needed. The Investigators within the WEL Research Institute must demonstrate a combination of scientific excellence, an awareness of unmet medical and technological needs in their field, and a willingness to seek application opportunities for their discoveries.
