  • 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 Congress.

  • 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 10 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 Hand Over Session.
  • The Award is bestowed during the EANM Congress by the EANM President. The decision is not open to appeal or legal action.
