APSR-ERS Young Investigator Award

This Award is available for two European Respiratory Society (ERS) members at each APSR Congress.

The ERS awards committee will select the best two abstracts from all ERS members who have applied, and who have been accepted for presenting their work.

The Award:
  • €1,500 travel grant
    Note: This travel grant is available only if the awardee attends the congress on site. It is not available if the awardee presents online.
  • Congress registration
  • A commemorative certificate
  • Invitation to the Gala Dinner (or similar social event) for the award ceremony
    (Note: This item might be changed due to the situation of COVID-19)
  • The awardee may also be introduced on the APSR website, Bulletin and social media.
The Awardee:
  • May apply for this Award when they submit their abstract to the Congress.
  • Must be an ERS member
  • Must be aged ≤40 at the start of the Congress
  • Must be compliant with other conditions according to the ERS rules
  • Must be the First Author and able to present the abstract at the Congress
  • Cannot be a winner of any other award for the same abstract nor have other travel support
  • Must register for the Congress before their individual "cut-off date".
    The cut-off date will be provided by the Congress Secretariat after their abstract has been accepted. This date will be earlier than the usual registration deadline, to enable the programme schedule to be compiled and awards to be considered.
  • The Awardee is required to send a report (circa 500 words) of their experience at the Congress to the APSR Secretariat within one month after the APSR Congress. The report may be published on the Young Investigators webpage, APSR Bulletin and/or Newsletter.
