Dr. Eva Maria Martins dos Santos of the FZU received the Auger Impact Award 2023 on November 17 in recognition of the outstanding efforts on Monte-Carlo simulation coordination, which has a tremendous impact on the results published by the Pierre Auger Observatory but is not necessarily visible, and for her extremely responsive and service oriented attitude.

The Auger Impact Award aims to express public appreciation, especially to the younger members of the Observatory, and to help them further launch their scientific careers. Candidates are those who have devoted a significant amount of their time to technical developments at the observatory that have had a very large impact on the operation of the detectors or on data analysis. In 2023, Eva Santos won this award together with her colleague from the Observatory, Jorge Ruben Rodriguez (see photo).
