We are pleased to invite submissions for the prestigious Early Career Scientist Awards to be presented at the upcoming World Congress on ADHD in Prague, 8-11 May 2025.
Two awards will be given for the best presentations in recognition of outstanding research:
- The Joseph Sergeant Award: This award will go to the best presentation from an early-career scientist holding a PhD or an MD degree.
- The Joseph Biederman Award: This award will go to the best presentation from an early-career scientist holding a PhD or an MD degree.
Eligibility:
- Abstract authors need to register for the congress before submitting an abstract.
- Applicants must be 35 years old or younger at the time of submission. A respective proof needs to be provided during the submission process.
- Submissions are open to researchers who have completed their PhD or MD degree.
- Abstracts which are not selected for presentation in the Early Career Scientist Awards Symposium will be presented during the Guided Poster Tour Session.
Selection Process:
From the submitted abstracts, the Scientific Programme Committee will select eight abstracts, who will be invited to give a lecture in two Early Career Scientist Awards Symposia. Each symposium comprises four 20-minute lectures and is chaired by recognized experts for the featured topic, who will then select the best presentation in each case. Awardees will receive a monetary grant worth EUR 1.000 and an award certificate. All other pre-selected abstracts will receive EUR 300.
