| CALL FOR NOMINATIONS |
|
The Solidarity of European Society for Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation (ESCHM), International Society for Clinical Hemorheology (ISCH) and International Society of Biorheology (ISB) invites nominations of outstanding investigators for Rising Star Awards. The competition of this prestigious Award is a highlight of the 2nd Joint Meeting (online) of ESCHM-ISCH-ISB 2021, Japan. |
|
| Purpose of the Rising Star Award |
|
The Rising Star Award will be presented to an outstanding mid-career investigator who is making major and independent contributions to the advancement of clinical hemorheology, biorheology and microcirculation and playing a significant scientific role in these fields. The main criteria for selecting awardees are scientific excellence, independence, and potential for future research contributions. Thus, the Rising Star Award targets investigators in the intermediate phase of an established academic career (conditions of faculty position of assistant or associate professor and age of 45 years or less). Such conditions differ obviously from the criteria of Poiseuille Award, Fåhraeus Award and ISCH Award. Because these three Awards target investigators at an advanced stage of an established academic career (full professor, professor emeritus or the equivalent stage). |
