Young Investigator Award

The Young Investigator Award is a contest for early-career researchers in physiology, organised by the Stiftung für Physiologie in association with the LS2 section Physiology. It recognises outstanding PhD students and junior postdoctoral researchers through oral and poster presentation competitions at the Swiss Physiology Meeting. Winners receive monetary prizes across categories for PhD and postdoc participants. Selection is based on abstract evaluation and on-site presentation performance assessed by a jury.

Cash prizes for top oral and poster presentations (amounts listed per category). Recognition at the Swiss Physiology Meeting.

Only members of the LS2 section Physiology may participate. Participants must be employed in Switzerland as PhD students or junior postdocs with less than 3 years postdoctoral experience.

Register for the Swiss Physiology Meeting and indicate intention to participate in the Young Investigator Award; submit an abstract and indicate preferred format (poster or oral).
