The FESPB Awards are the Federation’s most prestigious awards. Two are normally presented at each FESPB Congress to young scientists under the age of 35 chosen from nominations put forward by each of the 30 constituent societies of the FESPB.Winners are funded to travel and attend to the Congress and also receive a cheque and certificate. They also present a spoken paper at a plenary session of the Congress.
Each National Representative from the Federation is asked to propose one candidate for the 2010 Awards. The two winners, who must be under the age of 35, at the start of the Congress, will be selected by the Committee of Grants and Awards.
Applications [Nomination Forms (see below), Recommendation Letter and Curriculum Vitae (see below)] must be sent electronically or by regular mail or by courier before 31 January 2010 to the Chair of FESPB Grants&Awards Committee, Prof. Christine Foyer.
