FESN Prize


The FESN Prize is a new initiative created by FESN to recognize a promising young scientist in the field of neuropsychology.

The scientist has to be within 7 years from the PhD. The awardee will be recommended by their member society. Nomination materials include an up-to-date curriculum vitae, a letter of recommendation and up to 3 scientific papers showcasing their scientific contribution. Each member society can support at most one candidate. The Scientific Advisory Board does the ranking of all candidates and proposes one scientist after reviewing his or her scientific work. The final confirmation will be made by the Management Committee.

The prize is officially granted during the biannual FESN congress. The winner is invited to give a keynote address. Registration fees and travel expenses are covered by the FESN.
