Who can apply?
- Candidates must have their regular residence in Europe.
- At least one of the authors must be a member of the EANM.
- Only work which has been done in Europe can be considered.
- The submitted paper must not have been published before the last EANM Congress; possible candidates are invited by the Congress Chair to provide testimony for this.
- A certificate showing that legal requirements (including ethical and radiation protection requirements) were met when performing the study.
- The Award should be given to the author of the work, which is, in terms of scientific quality, the best contribution at the annual EANM Congress.
The Award
- Presentation of the research during the Award Ceremony.
- Marie Curie Medal and diploma awarded on stage during the Award Ceremony by the EANM President.
- The award of € 5,000 will be transferred after the Congress.
- One complimentary (non-transferable) registration for either the EANM Focus Meeting or the EANM Annual Congress in the subsequent year.
Application and Procedure
- The two best-scored abstracts (after the blinded review process) from each abstract category fulfilling the MCA criteria are selected. In addition to that, the ten best-scored abstracts (out of all submissions) will be added – if not already among the chosen ones.
- Those abstracts will be again blinded and rated by the EANM Scientific Programme Council.
- The best 10-rated abstracts will be once more reviewed (again blinded) by international peer reviewers*.
*The EANM Board will suggest at least ten peer reviewers who are neither linked to any of the abstracts, mentioned authors, nor the institutions involved. - The EANM office will notify the authors of the top 3 submissions, requesting a portrait picture, a 2-slides-presentation and their onsite presence at the respective Award Ceremony.
- The Award is bestowed during the EANM Congress by the EANM President. The decision is not open to appeal or legal action.
NB: The EANM Board is not involved in any selection process at any time, and all scores will be given during the three rating stages to anonymised abstracts.
