EPSO Young Plant Scientist Award 2024
EPSO wishes to encourage the development of ideas and imaginative thinking in the plant sciences and, therefore, offers two awards to young scientists to attending the Science Day - 120624 - of the EPSO General Meeting to be held in Oeiras/Portugal.
The awards will cover registration (waived by the Local Host) and travel (economy, max. 400 Euro, reimbursed by EPSO) to the meeting and will include the opportunity to present a lecture on the winner’s research (20 minutes) during a plenary session of the Science Day; each awardee will receive 200 € from EPSO. Applications are invited from PhD students working on either fundamental or applied aspects of research on plants. One award will be offered in each category.
Awards will be chosen based on submitted abstracts. The selection criteria will be:
- The novelty of the idea or approach being taken.
- The potential of the research to improve understanding or outcomes in the selected field of plant science.
- The clarity with which the problem or research topic is conveyed to a non-specialist plant scientist.
