In 1999, the ESVB scientific committee organized the first Young Researcher Prize to recognize innovative and outstanding research network of young researchers early in their career. Our objective is to promote research amongst youngsters, allow young PhD and/or fellow to support and boost research in the field of vascular biomaterials. The abstract submission is open to vascular trainees (MSc, PhD, Students) and scientific researchers in the field of biomaterial and vascular surgery who should be less than 35 years old.

 → Why should you participate?

  • Present in front of prestigious researchers, industrials and surgeons
  • Exclusive opportunity to share with physicians and industry
  • A unique 3 days all-inclusive package (congress, satellite and social events)
  • Expose a poster of your project in the congress venue 

The three best projects will be awarded 1500€, 1000€ and 500€.
The best poster will be awarded 300€.

 → On what subject?

  • The arterial wall
  • Artificial intelligence in vascular surgery
  • Updates on aortic pathologies
  • Updates on SFA pathologies
  • Access to innovation 
  • Education 

 → How does it work?
