Science Awards
We encourage young scientists to develop a career in science and contribute to our ongoing research. With the objective of recognising and promoting young scientists, ECETOC has been also active in the provision of annual Science Awards to outstanding works of science since 2003.
The first Science Award was accorded on the occasion of its 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 good science. Since then the format of the Award may have varied, however the objectives have remained the same.
