With the objective to recognise young scientists, ECETOC has been active in the provision of an annual Science Award to outstanding works of science since 2003.
The 1st Science Award was accorded on the occasion of its ECETOC’s 25th Anniversary to recognise the achievements of three promising European investigators in the fields of science relevant to its mission of supporting the safe manufacturing and use of chemicals, pharmaceuticals and biomaterials through sound science.
Since then the format of the Award may have varied, however the objectives have remained the same.
This year, ECETOC sponsors two awards for young scientists:
The ECETOC environmental science related Young Scientist Award (YSA) will be presented for the best platform presentation at the 2008 Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Europe Annual Congress (Warsaw, Poland, 25-29 May 2008).
The ECETOC human health related Young Scientist Award will be presented for the best poster at the 2008 European Societies of Toxicology (EUROTOX) Annual Congress (Rhodes, Greece.5-8 October 2008).
