EMBO Award for Communication in the Life Sciences

Call for entries: DEADLINE 30 JUNE 2007

The award is for scientists who have, while remaining active in laboratory research, risen to the challenge of communicating science to a non-scientific audience. The winners of the EMBO Award are nominated for the EU Descartes Prize for science communication. The prize is Euro 5,000, accompanied by a silver and gold medal inscribed with the winner’s name.

Eligibility. Scientists working in Europe or Israel at the time of application, who have made an outstanding contribution to the public communication of science via any medium or activity. Candidates must be working in active research at the time of application, and should have done most of their communication work in Europe or Israel. Scientists who are already widely regarded as professional communicators will not be considered for the award. Applications must be written in English.

See the EMBO website for further details and official application forms.
