Call for nominations: ALBA-FKNE Diversity Prize
With this Diversity prize, The ALBA Network and the The FENS-Kavli Scholars wish to highlight a scientist who has made outstanding contributions to promoting equality and diversity in the brain sciences.
The promotion of equality and diversity — e.g. by gender, race, sexual orientation, class, or culture — in research depends upon leaders and role models that catalyse a full integration of all scientists across academic levels. This annual award will recognise an individual who has made outstanding contributions to this effort, including but not limited to advocacy, mentorship or the creation of diversity-promoting initiatives.
This prize is awarded by the ALBA and FKNE networks, annually, at either the FENS Forum or the FENS Regional Meetings (FRM). The 2025 winner will be announced at the next FRM in Oslo, Norway from 16-19 June 2025.
2025 nomination window: 25 October – 9 January 2025
Prize
The awardee will receive prize money of €2000 for personal use and additional financial support to cover the awardee’s travel to and participation in the conference where the prize will be awarded.
Eligibility criteria
This year we will celebrate the efforts of researchers at all career stages, including students, postdocs and principal investigators. They should be based in Europe and work at least 50% in a European research institution.
