On the occasion of his 60th birthday, Professor Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Egon Stahl donated a medal, a document and a monetary prize in order to recognize and promote young scientists working in the field of Pharmacognosy (Pharmaceutical Biology) and Analytical Phytochemistry.
As a rule, the silver medal and an award of € 3,000 should be awarded to scientists up to the age of about forty, who have published outstanding scientific work during the years following their graduation.
In 2023 the ESA Silver Award will be given during the 71st International Congress and Annual Meeting of the Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research (GA), Dublin, Ireland, July 2 – 5, 2023.
Members of the Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research (GA) are invited to submit nominations for candidates together with supporting data to the President of GA and Head of the Awards Committee, Prof. Dr. Judith M. Rollinger.
A nomination for the prize has to include a motivation letter explaining the significance of the scientific achievements of the candidate, a curriculum vitae of the candidate, an index on her/his publications, and reprints of his/her more recent publications. All publications can be taken into consideration. Deadline for submissions for the Egon Stahl-Award 2023 is March 1, 2023.
All documents (max. size of attachment: 8 MB) have to be submitted via email to the president of GA, Prof. Dr. Judith M. Rollinger, email: Judith.rollinger@univie.ac.at
