Young Investigator Award

Young Investigator Award

The authors of the highest scoring abstracts submitted by young investigators are invited to present at the ARTERY annual meeting.

Aim:

Young investigators who submitted an abstract to the ARTERY conference as presenting author can opt to compete for the ARTERY Young Investigator Award. The authors of the highest scoring abstracts will be invited to orally present their abstract at the ARTERY conference and compete for the ARTERY Young Investigator Award.

Award:

The winner of the ARTERY Young Investigator Award is awarded €500 and the winner’s name is engraved on a perpetual silver platter.

Eligibility criteria for applicants:

• Young investigators are classified by the ARTERY Society as those aged 40 years and under.
• Applicants may be from Europe or outside Europe.

Application process:

• Abstracts must be submitted via the ARTERY Conference abstract submission portal. During submission, the author can indicate whether they would like to compete for the Young Investigator Award.
• If selected, individuals must confirm that they will present their work at the conference, and register and pay for the conference according to the timeline given on the notification letter.
