WHAT IS THE NORBERT GSCHWEND PRIZE?
This premier scientific award of the society, which is awarded every two years, was created to honour the memory of Norbert Gschwend - an outstanding Swiss shoulder surgeon who was one of the two Founding Members of SECEC with Didier Patte.
The € 3 000 prize will be awarded for a body of European scientific research of outstanding merit pertaining to the ELBOW.
Applications will be reviewed and selected by the Research and Development Committee. The winner will be contacted in the summer and announced at the SECEC Congress in Munich (Sept 4th-6th). The laureate will be asked to present his/her work in a ten minute presentation during the Award Ceremony.
The mention "Norbert Gschwend Prize" may be added to the publication title.
