Nominations open for Young Scientist of the Year award
The annual award is bestowed to young professionals for innovation in the field of feline infectious diseases and/or applied immunology.
Winner will receive complimentary registration to the ISFM Congress.

Nominations have opened for this year’s Young Scientist Award, organised by the European Advisory Board on Cat Diseases (ABCD) and Boehringer Ingelheim.

Launched in 2008, the annual award is bestowed to young professionals for innovation and outstanding work in feline infectious diseases and/or applied immunology. 

Nominees must have contributed original work to the field that has been published or accepted for publication in a referenced journal or accepted by another assessing body in 2020 or later.

Last year’s award recipients were Julia Klaus of the Zurich University VetSuisse Faculty, and Dr Yasmin Parr of the MRC-University of Glasgow, Centre for Virus Research. 

An ABCD spokesperson said: “The 2022 award (1000€) is funded by Boehringer Ingelheim and will be presented by the ABCD at the congress of the International Society of Feline Medicine, to be held from 30 June to 3 July in Rhodes. 

“The award winner will receive a complimentary registration to this congress. Return travel expenses and accommodation will also be covered to allow the laureate to attend the event. The winner is expected to give a short presentation or present a poster of his/her findings at this event.”

Candidates should be Europe-based and have completed a veterinary or biomedical curriculum. Ideally, the applicant will be under 35 years at the time of application.
