Schweisguth Prize

This prize is awarded to the author of the best scientific article. The author has to be a trainee. The prize is given in honour of Dr. O. Schweisguth, founding member and first President of SIOP. Judgement of this prize will be based on a written article describing work done by the trainee and will consider originality, completeness, scientific accuracy and contribution to science. Contestants must have been in training when the work reflected in the article was performed, and must still be in the training period or not more than one year thereafter at the time of submission.
The prize consists of travelling expenses (return economy air fare between the winner’s professional home city and the meeting venue), together with hotel costs and registration fees for the meeting.

 The winner will present his/her work at the time of the SIOP meeting and will be printed in a booklet for distribution.
