RBSCDB PhD-EXCELLENCE AWARD 2025
The RBSCDB PhD Excellence Award wants to recognize and reward a young scientist for outstanding research achievements in the fields of cell and/or developmental biology, and to encourage young scientists to make the next step in their scientific career. This award does that by supporting the mobility for a post-doctoral career to a research institute different from the PhD host University. It consists of a certificate of scientific distinction, and the accompanying funds (5,000 €) are available to provide support to the awardee who wishes to engage or is already engaged in a challenging post-doctoral project. This prize will be awarded at the occasion of the RBSCDB Autumn Meeting 2025, where the winner is expected to present her/his work.
The application guidelines will be available later.
The application deadline is 01/03/2025.
