ESB Clinical Biomechanics Award
The ‘ESB Clinical Biomechanics Award’ was established by ESB with the purpose of fostering the application of Biomechanics to clinically oriented problems. The award is biennial. On those ESB Congresses that are held on even years (2020, 2022, etc.) the most meritorious proceedings paper of clinical relevance is chosen from the submitted abstracts. Eligibility includes ESB membership and an indication at the time of abstract submission that you would like to compete for the Award. Only previously unpublished work is eligible for the Clinical Biomechanics award. The deadlines for submitting proceeding abstracts are all defined ahead of the ESB congresses. The selection is made by an ad hoc Award Committee which prioritises all relevant abstracts and selects 4 finalists, which are then invited to present oral presentations during a special session of the ESB congress. The final winner is chosen based both on the quality of the proceeding abstract and the oral presentation at the Conference.
The first author receives a certificate and an amount of 1000 € donated by Elsevier Science Ltd., the publisher of Clinical Biomechanics.
The award winner will be asked to prepare a manuscript which is foreseen to be published in Clinical Biomechanics as the ‘ESB Clinical Biomechanics Award Paper’.
Deadline for receipt of nominations for The ESB Clinical Biomechanics award is coincident with the closing date for abstract submission for the ESB Congress. In order to enter the competition, applicants must apply using the online tool during the abstract submission process.
Nominations must be presented from 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 information you provide to the conference with the ESB, in order to do this.
CONGRATULATIONS to our 2022 winners!
