National Societies Best Papers

National Societies Best Paper

Each year, the National Societies are invited to submit a paper they nationally recognised during the year.

The SECEC Research Committee will review the applications and the top ranked 5 papers will be invited to present their work during a special session at the SECEC Annual Congress.

The Jury, composed of members of the Research and Membership committees, will select the winner who will receive a free registration for the next annual congress.

Deadline: June 15th 2024

The paper should:

  • be an original abstract
  • have been recognised at the national level (as "Best Paper" for example)
  • not have otherwise been accepted for oral presentation at the SECEC congress
  • be submitted in English
