GöDEL PRIZE

The 'Gödel Prize' is a prize for outstanding papers in theoretical computer science, named after Kurt Gödel and awarded jointly by the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) and the Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory (ACM SIGACT).
The Gödel Prize is awarded annually, since 1993. It includes an award of $5000. The prize is awarded either at ''STOC'' (''ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing'', one of the main North American conferences in theoretical computer science) or ''ICALP'' (''International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming'', one of the main European conferences in the field). To be eligible for the prize, a paper must be published in a refereed journal within the last 7 years. The rules have however now changed to include papers published within the last 14 years.
