Scientific Awards 2018: New submissions

This year we have 4 different awards, each of 2000€, one award for each of the categories corresponding to the four working groups of ENS@T: ACC, NAPACA, APA and PPGL.

Applicants are asked to provide the manuscript together with a cover letter, a two page CV and a signed statement that all other collaborators (if applicable) have been informed and agreed with the authors’ application (click here for the form if you apply for the ACC award, click here for the form if you apply for the NAPACA award, click here for the form if you apply for the APA award, click here for the form if you apply for the PPGL award) as PDF files to ensatweb@gmail.com

The rules for submission are:

- Research has to be carried out primarily in Europe. The scientific work has to be accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal prior to submission. Acceptance for publication should not have taken place longer than one year before application

- Applicants should be within 15 years of receipt of their doctoral title (PhD or MD) at the time of application. PhD or MD students are also eligible to apply.
