FEBS Journal Prize for Young Scientists

FEBS, and the Editorial Boards of its journals, are keen to help the cause of young scientists. To complement the many activities of FEBS in this area, FEBS Journal will be continuing with its prize in 2009. The prize, of €10 000, will be awarded to the graduate student or young post-doctoral research worker (no more than 3 years from the time of award of the PhD degree when the paper is submitted) who is the first author of a regular paper that is judged to be the best in FEBS Journal during the calendar year. We regret that first authors of reviews, minireviews, hypotheses and meeting reports can not be considered as candidates for the prize.

The choice will be made by the Editorial Board of the journal, whose decision will be final. It is hoped that the successful author will present a lecture and be awarded the prize at the FEBS Congress in 2010.

The Editorial Office of FEBS Journal will contact the corresponding authors of all regular papers that will appear in the hard copy of the journal in 2009 to see if the first author qualifies as a candidate for the prize.

A comparable prize is offered by our sister journal, FEBS Letters.
