Awards
Awards: The journal Vaccines is awarding two early stage career scientists each 500 Euro for best presentation within vaccines and oncoimmunology.
Awards: All submitted abstracts from respectively students and PostDocs/Early Stage Researchers may be eligible for best poster/best presentation awards. The awards will be presented to the three best presentations (first prize 500 Euro, second prize 300 Euro, third prize 200 Euro), for each of the following categories: Basic science, applied biology and medicine, food technology, environmental technology.
Awards: Best Abstract within Oncology and Cancer Research. With the kind sponsorship of OncoSec, we will be awarding the best poster presentation within oncology and cancer research. All abstracts within cancer research (clinical, pre-clinical & veterinary) using electroporation may join. The award will be presented to the best presentation and awarded 1,000 EUR.
Award: In honor of a legacy in our field, Justin Teissié (1947-2020, Toulouse, France), the Justin Teissie award celebrates excellence in the Electroporation-Based Treatments and Technologies community. This prize of 1000€ will be given to a young scientist who has made an important contribution to the field of Electroporation related to any of the topics and areas of interest of the ISEBTT. The Rules with instructions on nominating candidates for the award are available from this PDF.
Travel Grants
ISEBTT now has an awards committee overseeing the announcement of travel grant recipients (based on applications), as well as awards based on evaluation of presentations (both oral presentations and posters). This year more than 35 travel grants are available, see below. Please apply for your travel grant by one or more applications in the category to which your abstract belongs. The awards committee will make sure only one travel grant is awarded per participant. When submitting your abstract, you will be asked if you are eligible for a best presentation award (student or early stage researcher), and all eligible presentations will be considered for one of the presentation awards.
Travel grants: By generous donation of the Doreen J. Putrah Cancer Foundation of 28 travel grants, graduate students and PostDocs/Early Stage Researchers (degree awarded 2014 or later) working in the field of electroporation related biomedical research, particularly, but not limited to, nanosecond pulsed electric fields, electrochemotherapy and irreversible electroporation may be eligible for a 1000 USD travel grant. Please find the application form here.
Travel grants: OncoSec Travel Grant for Cancer Research. OncoSec kindly sponsors 9 travel grants (1,000 EUR each) for graduate students and PostDocs/Early Stage Researchers (degree awarded 2014 or later) working in the field of electroporation related cancer research (pre-clinical, clinical and veterinary), using particularly, but not limited to, nanosecond pulsed electric fields, electrochemotherapy and irreversible electroporation. All eligible researchers are encouraged to apply. Please find the application form here.
Travel grant: Frontiers Travel Grant for Bioengineering & Biotechnology. Frontiers kindly sponsors 1 travel grants (1,000 USD) for Bioengineering and Biotechnology graduate students and PostDocs/Early Stage Researchers (degree awarded 2014 or later) working in the field of electroporation, using particularly, but not limited to, nanosecond pulsed electric fields, electrochemotherapy and irreversible electroporation.
