The EARA Young Scholar Award was established in 2000. This award recognizes outstanding scholastic promise in research on adolescence. The award recognizes the international publications following from a dissertation that significantly contribute to the understanding of adolescence and development during adolescence. The Young Scholar Award is given biennially by the European Association for Research on Adolescence to one young scholar who has published empirical or theoretical studies in international journals or volumes that contribute significantly to understanding adolescence and adolescent development. At the EARA conference, the awarded scholar will be given the opportunity to present his or her research and ideas.
