    Young Investigator Awards

    To honour the contributions of Désiré Collen to research on fibrinolysis, proteolysis and thrombolysis, the International Society for Fibrinolysis and Proteolysis (ISFP) has decided to create “D. Collen Young Investigator Awards”, that will be awarded every two years at the occasion of the congress of the ISFP.

    The following criteria were set:

  • Restricted to PhD/young post-doc level (under 40 years).
  • Five abstracts submitted to the congress are selected by the scientific program committee (on the basis of grading and contents). The first authors of submitted abstracts will have the option to indicate whether they wish to compete for one of these awards.
  • The selected abstracts will be presented in a special oral communications session.
  • After this session, the scientific program committee will select one abstract as winner, receiving 5000 USD, whereas the 4 others will each receive 1000 USD.
  • The awards will be given for the first time at the ISFP congress in Amsterdam (August 24-28, 2010; www.isfp2010.org).

    For more information, contact the Executive Director of the ISFP.
