YOUNG SCIENTIST AWARD

The European Narcolepsy Network (EU-NN) aims to facilitate clinical and scientific progress in the field of narcolepsy and other hypersomnia of central origin. For the 15th European Narcolepsy Day to be held in Montpellier, France, on July 6 2024, the EU-NN will grant a “Young Investigator Award”.

If you are an early carrier fellow (see definition below), member of the EUNN, and have published an article on narcolepsy or hypersomnolence of central origin between January 2023 and February 2024, in a key position (first or co-first), you are invited to apply for this award. Note that the young investigator prize can be obtained only once.

The award is a prize as well as an invitation to present the awarded scientific work at the 15th Narcolepsy Day in Montpellier (it includes accommodation and travel expenses for up to 300.00 €).

Young Investigators are defined as persons who are working in the field, who have been either awarded a doctoral degree (PhD or MD) within the past 5 years or are doing research and have less than 9 years research experience following master’s degree or equivalent. Young Investigators should not hold an appointment as faculty, academic staff or group leader in a university/research institute or in industry. Young investigators are required to have their advisor/supervisor send a letter as proof of the bona fide status of young investigator and mentioning in details the implication of the candidate in the publication.

Evaluation will be performed by the scientific committee with the help of external experts if needed to avoid conflict of interests.

Application should be addressed to the scientific committee of the EU-NN represented by Christelle Peyron: peyron@sommeil.univ-lyon1.fr
