EACS Award

The European AIDS Clinical Society invites EACS members to nominate individuals who may be considered to receive the prestigious biennial EACS Award. 

The EACS Award is handed out every two years at the time of the EACS Conference in recognition of an individual’s longstanding, impactful and sustained professional contribution to the field of HIV. 

Contributions worthy of this recognition are expected to reflect sustained excellence in the field of HIV. Such contributions may be scientific in nature, and/or relate to advancing the prevention and care of people at risk of or affected by HIV, or to promoting education, policy, community engagement or advocacy. Additional details are outlined in the Terms of Reference.

This year the recipient(s) of the EACS Award will be announced during the Opening Ceremony of the 20th European AIDS Conference on Wednesday, 15 October 2025 in Paris.

Nominations of candidates for the EACS Award must be made by a member of EACS. 

Required supporting documentation:

Selection procedure

All nominations with the required documentation will be reviewed by the EACS Award Committee consisting of members who reflect a diversity of expertise and experience.
