The H.W. & J. Hector Foundation, Weinheim, is announcing a prize for European HIV research, which will be awarded for the best scientific achievements in the HIV research area in 2022/2023.
In 2019, the foundation, under the initiative of Prof. Jürgen Rockstroh, created and announced a prize for European HIV research. There are two categories that receive a dotation each.
Dotation:
EUR 20,000 for the best clinical and/or epidemiological paper;
EUR 20,000 for the best basic science, translational paper.
Any paper on an HIV-related topic that has been accepted or published in a peer-reviewed journal within the last 24 months (i.e. from 18 October 2021) before the start of the 19th European AIDS Conference (#EACS 2023) can be submitted.
If the paper has been co-authored by several authors, it should be made clear which author is applying for the award. The application should be accompanied by a written consent of all co-authors.
The submitted paper should be sent along with the application letter addressed to Dr Esteban Martinez, President, by 15 August 2023 by email to the EACS Secretariat at info_at_eacsociety.org.
Laureates are announced during the 19th European AIDS Conference in Warsaw, Poland, 18-21 October.
