During
the conference and due to the support of different companies we will
have prizes for young researchers.
Luciano
Martini
Prize
for Young Investigator in Neuroendocrinology
Starting
from the 5th edition of our conference we have entitled a
prize to Prof. Luciano Martini, one of the fathers of
Neuroendocrinology.
Application for
the Prize will be presented by a Senior scientist that will send to the
Organizing Committee of the International Meeting on Steroids and
Nervous System a support letter illustrating the personality of the
candidate (under 35 years-old) and his/her contributions to the field
of the interactions of steroids and nervous system. The
proposal should be accompanied by a short curriculum of the candidate,
the list of the publications relevant to the specific field and a
copy (in pdf format) of the papers. PhD thesis, manuscripts or
submitted manuscripts will not be considered.
Applications will be accepted only if the
candidates and sponsors will attend to the meeting (presenting a poster
or a short communications). Applications for the prize should be
submitted at the same time of the deadline
for submitting the abstracts for the meeting.
The
committee that will select the winner is formed by the Educational
Committee and will be chaired by Luciano Martini.
The
winner of the prize will present a short summary of his/her researches
(no more than 15 minutes) as a formal
lecture during the social dinner. In addition the
winner will submit a review paper to Journal of Neuroendocrinology
that, after peer review, will publish the contribution in the
special section Young Neuroendocrinologists Prize Reviews.
Young
Investigators symposium
As
in previous editions of our conference, the scientific and the
educational committtes will select a few contributions from young
participants
for oral presentation during a special session named Young
Investigators
symposium. The presentations
will be of 10 minutes including discussion.
Trainee
Poster
Competition
This competition will incorporate undergraduate students,
graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows. The trainees in each
of these categories will be evaluated independently. Trainees who
are first authors on abstracts submitted to the meeting are eligible to
register for the poster competition. Prizes will be awarded for the
most excellent research poster presentations in each category. The
posters will be judged based on the scientific merit of the research,
the effectiveness of the presentation, as well as the role of the
student in initiating and carrying out the research. It is
expected that the winning students will have been the primary
intellectual force behind the project.
