Early Career Scholar Award

ISPNE has traditionally awarded around ten Early Career Scholar Awards, of $500 USD each, to Early Career Scholars attending the annual conference.

The awards are given based on the quality and originality of the abstract submitted for poster, oral or symposium presentation at the annual meeting. Two additional Awards have been offered since 2021, thanks to additional funding provided by Elsevier, that are specifically dedicated to researchers from low and middle income countries. 

All Early Career Scholars who submit an abstract for a presentation to the annual conference are eligible, and no additional application is required.

The decision is made by the organizing committee of each conference, and communicated on the first day of the conference.
