Dear colleagues,
This is a final reminder that the deadline for nominations for the ESB awards is the 31st of January 2020. We look forward to receiving your nominations for the following awards:
George Winter Award: established to recognize, encourage and stimulate outstanding research contributions to the field of biomaterials. The nominee must have contributed significantly to the knowledge in the field of biomaterials through basic, experimental and/or clinical research.
Jean Leray Award: established to recognize, encourage and stimulate outstanding research contributions to the field of biomaterials by early-career scientists. The nominee, not older than 40 years of age and with no more than eight years of post-doctoral experience at the close of nomination, must have contributed significantly to the knowledge in the field of biomaterials through basic, experimental and/or clinical research.
International Award: established as a recognition of scientists who have generally spent their career outside Europe, who have been internationally recognized, have a high scientific profile, and have made major contributions to the field of biomaterials. Strong evidence of collaborations with members of our scientific community in Europe throughout their career is expected.
Klaas de Groot Award: established as a prestigious recognition of scientists who have shown a distinct ability to provide excellent mentorship and guidance to young researchers, helping them to establish their own independent career. We look for colleagues who have nurtured young talent, and who have selflessly invested in this talent, creating the next generation of biomaterials scientists in Europe.
