Robert Mathys Student Awards
A student award was established in the 1st ECM
Meeting in order to give young scientists recognition of their
scientific performance, which could be documented in their
curriculum vitae, and to encourage them to continue their
research career. These awards have been gratefully sponsored
for the meetings by the Robert Mathys Foundation. For ECM
IX award types judged will be for students (Under 30 years
of age) for the best presentations (whether oral or poster).
We advise all presenters to look at the TIPS
FOR TALKS (295 kB) presentation and read these guidelines
(39kB) before starting to prepare their talks. This will help
for all presenters, especially if one is interested in a chance
of an awards.

Robert Mathys Stiftung sponsors the
awards, which consist each of a certificate (which can
be documented on the curriculum vitae) and a cash prize. |
