The TERMIS-EU Doctoral Award was created to empower the next generation of researchers in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. By specifically encouraging PhD students to pursue part of their training and research in institutions from different countries (list of countries as annex – to be prepared), this award fosters international mobility, cross-cultural collaboration, and the exchange of complementary expertise. Such experiences are invaluable for building truly global networks of excellence, accelerating knowledge transfer, and exposing young researchers to diverse methodologies, infrastructures, and scientific perspectives.
Equally important, the award strengthens the visibility and impact of doctoral research by motivating students to actively disseminate their work through participation in international meetings and high-quality publications. This not only enhances the scientific standing of the awardees but also increases the visibility of TERMIS-EU as a driving force in shaping future innovation in the field. Ultimately, the TERMIS-EU Doctoral Award aims to create a virtuous cycle of excellence: empowering early-career researchers with international experience, amplifying the reach and relevance of their contributions, and consolidating the role of TERMIS-EU as a catalyst for advancing regenerative medicine and allied technologies across borders.
This award is given by the TERMIS-EU council and is presented during the Annual Conference of the TERMIS-EU. The winner will be given a certificate (signed by the TERMIS-EU Chair, the SYIS Chair and the Chair of the Inclusion, Diversity & Education Committee);
The candidate must be member in good standing of the TERMIS-EU at the time of application and fulfil the criteria described. Supervisors associated to the candidate must not be necessarily TERMIS-EU members. There is no additional selection process, so multiple awardees are expected.
