Michael J. Mihatsch & Dusan Ferluga Research Award
In 2010, the Michael J. Mihatsch and Dusan Ferluga Research Award was founded jointly by the Renal Pathology Society and the European Society of Pathology – Nephropathology Working Group, in recognition of their contributions to renal research. It was established to encourage excellence in the area of renal pathology research by younger investigators (<40 years of age). The recipients will be selected on the basis of the quality of her/his abstract(s) submitted to the ECP. Awards of €300 will be presented at the ECP, together with a certificate. The first authors of the best one or two nephropathology abstracts submitted to the European Congress of Pathology will be awarded.
The abstract review committee of the ECP will nominate the 2-4 best abstracts in each category accepted for oral presentation at the ECP. The prize winners will then be selected by Dusan Ferluga and Michael J. Mihatsch.
