Promising Scientist Award (Sponsored by www.motionanalysis.com)

The Promising Scientist award is designed to acknowledge people who have performed superior biomechanics research early in their career. It entails a certificate and a monetary award of US$ 5000 for scientific purposes, such as visiting another research group to collaborate on a project. The competition is held each year in which there is an ISB-conference. At the ISB-congress 2 years later, the winner of the award is expected to give a 30 min. plenary presentation about a study to which the award money has contributed.

Requirements. To be eligible for the award, a candidate must (1) be a member of the ISB, (2) be at a relatively early stage of his or her scientific career in Biomechanics, and (3) be no more than 5 years post PhD degree.

Each candidate must submit his or her full curriculum vitae, identify at least two first author full articles in peer reviewed scientific journals that he or she has written in a single area of Biomechanics, and provide interpretative summaries describing the contribution of each article. Applications for the award are to be sent to the Jury chairman. Please send your applications to Prof Andrew Cresswell ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
