Young Science Best Medical Paper Award 2024

Also this year we would like to present the "Young Science Best Medical Paper Award" and not only honor you and your work, but also reward you!

For this purpose, we are offering two prizes for the best clinical and best experimental paper.

  • You are doing your doctorate in a research group/clinic of the Faculty of Medicine or you are a doctor of medicine or a research associate of the Faculty of Medicine.
  • Your doctorate was awarded a maximum of 3 years ago (child-rearing and care periods are taken into account). You are not yet habilitated and do not hold a professorship.
  • In the last 3 years (years 2021 - 2024) you have published a paper of high quality (original paper in an international journal with peer review system with first or last authorship and Bochum affiliation; each paper may only be submitted once for review).
