Young Investigator Awards
Twelve Young Investigator Awards, worth €1000 each, are awarded to researchers who submit abstracts (basic or clinical) to the annual European Congress of Endocrinology (ECE) and receive the highest abstract scores.
This year's Congress was the Joint Congress of ESPE and ESE 'Connecting Endocrinology Across the Life Course'.
Further information on all the Joint Abstract Awards can be found on the Joint Congress 2025 website.
Applicants must indicate on the abstract form whether they wish to be considered for an ESE Young Investigator Award.
Successful applicants must be within 10 years post-PhD or MD and a member of ESE at the time of the Congress.
The awards are based on the achieved abstract scores, as determined by the ECE abstract review committee; the final decision is made by the ECE Programme Organising Committee.
