ESBiomech24 Congress in Edinburgh

ESB Clinical Biomechanics Award

 

The ESB Clinical Biomechanics Award was established by ESB with the purpose of fostering the application of Biomechanics and/or mechanobiology to clinically oriented problems. The award is biennial. On those ESB Congresses that are held on even years (2020, 2022, etc.) the most meritorious works of clinical relevance are chosen from the abstracts submitted for consideration for the ESB Clinical Biomechanics Award. Eligibility includes first Author ESB membership and an indication at the time of abstract submission that you would like to compete for the Award. Only previously unpublished research is eligible. The selection is made by an ad hoc Award Committee which prioritises all relevant abstracts and selects 4 finalists, invited to present oral presentations during a special parallel session of the ESB congress. Only first Authors will be invited to present. The final winner is chosen based both on the quality of the proceeding abstract and the oral presentation at the Conference.

The first author of the ESB Clinical Biomechanics Award receives a certificate and an amount of 1000 €, by the European Society of Biomechanics.

Should the winner publish the awarded work in a journal, the ESB requests the explicit acknowledgement of the “ESB Clinical Biomechanics Award by the European Society of Biomechanics”, in the Acknowledgement section of the journal article. The winner shall inform the ESB for the promotion of the published journal article and the inclusion thereof in the ESB Related Publications section of the ESB webpage.

Deadline to apply for The 2024 ESB Clinical Biomechanics award is coincident with the closing date for abstract submission for the 2024 ESB Congress, i.e., January 31st, 2024. In order to enter the competition, candidates must apply through the online abstract submission portal of the ESB Congress.

Applications must be presented by an ESB member, who must also be first author of the abstract.  Please check your membership and payment status before applying for this award. For detailed information on eligibility and the selection procedure, please refer to the Awards Regulations.

To qualify for the award, the conference management team will need to check your eligibility against the ESB membership database, and may share your information with the ESB Council, in order to do this.

CONGRATULATIONS to our 2022 winners!
