In 2019, the European Magnetism Association (EMA) established two awards. The Young Scientist Award is awarded every year to a young scientist, for theoretical or experimental work performed mostly in Europe, in fields of fundamental or applied magnetism. The Dominique Givord Award for Advancing Magnetism in Europe is awarded every three years to an excellent Scientist (or scientists), who has significantly helped to push forward magnetism research and the magnetism community in Europe.
The 2024 Young Scientist Award goes to Alvaro Martín Gallo Cordova for his contributions aimed at bridging the gap between fundamental magnetism and impactful industrial applications collaborating with private and public entities.

The Young Scientist Award is awarded every year to a young scientist, for theoretical or experimental work performed mostly in Europe, in fields of fundamental or applied magnetism. The nominated candidate must have defended the doctorate no more than five years before the nomination date, with allowances for military service and parental leave. Candidates at a previous call can be nominated again, if not previously awarded.
The award consists of a certificate, a medal, a monetary award of €2,000, an invitation to the next JEMS to attend the award ceremony and present a plenary talk, and a travel allowance of €500 for that purpose. The awardee will be selected by a committee composed of the members of the EMA General Council. Nominations may be made by anyone interested in the field of magnetism. Nominations for female candidates are encouraged.
The Dominique Givord Award for Advancing Magnetism in Europe is awarded every three years to an outstanding Scientist (or scientists), who has significantly helped to push forward magnetism research and the magnetism community in Europe.
The award consists of a certificate, a medal, a monetary award of €3,000, an invitation to the next JEMS to attend the award ceremony and present a plenary talk, and a travel allowance of €500 for that purpose. The awardee will be selected by a committee composed of the members of the EMA General Council. Nominations may be made by anyone interested in the field of magnetism. Nominations for female candidates are encouraged.
