Eight (four for clinical and four for basic science) outstanding contributions from all submitted abstracts are shortlisted by the Scientific Programme Committee, based on the overall referees’ scores as well as additional reviews provided by independent Panel of Reviewers.
During one of the plenary sessions, the audience, together with a jury of top experts in transplantation, will select two winners – one for clinical and one for basic science research. Both winners will be awarded €10,000 and their contributions will be celebrated during the closing plenary of the congress. They will also receive an invitation to submit their work to Transplant International. Only original abstracts are eligible for this award.
