Discover everything you need to know about the award and application process.
EANM Marie Curie Award
- Short presentation of the research during the Award Ceremony.
- Marie Curie Medal and diploma handed over on stage during the Award Ceremony, presented by the EANM President.
- Award of € 5,000.-, which will be transferred after the end of the EANM Annual Congress.
- One complimentary (non-transferable) registration for either the EANM Focus Meeting or the EANM Annual Congress in the subsequent year.
Who can apply?
- Candidates must have their main residence in Europe.
- At least one of the authors must be a member of the EANM.
- Only research projects that have been conducted in Europe will be considered.
- The submitted paper must not have been published before the last EANM Annual Congress. The EANM Congress Chair invites potential candidates to provide testimony for this.
- A certificate showing that the legal requirements (including ethical and radiation protection requirements) were met when performing the study must be presented.
- The Award should be given to the author of the work, which is, in terms of scientific quality, the best contribution to the EANM Annual Congress.
Application and Procedure:
- The best scored 2 abstracts (after the review process (blinded)) from each abstract category fulfilling the MCA criteria will be selected. In addition, the 10 best scored abstracts (out of all submissions) will be added – if not already among the chosen ones.
- 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 Executive Office will notify the authors of the top 3 submissions, requesting a portrait picture, a 2-slides-presentation and their onsite presence at the respective Award Ceremony.
- The Award is bestowed during the EANM Congress by the EANM President. The decision is not open to appeal or legal action.
- Further information regarding the abstract submission process can be found on the EANM’24 website.
- NB: The EANM Board is not involved in the selection process at any time, and all scores will be given during the three rating stages to anonymised abstracts.
