Young Investigator Award winners 2021
At ECF's Annual Meeting, awards for the best poster presentation are granted to Young Investigators presenting a poster.
Through the Young Investigator Awards, the European Charcot Foundation invests in the future.
Delegates of 35 years or younger presenting a poster during ECF's Annual Meeting automatically participate to the Young Investigator Awards, announced during the Annual Meeting.
