Dear FESN Council Members, dear colleagues,
As you may already know, the FESN can no longer award the Cortex Prize, and we were informed of this only recently. To ensure we continue celebrating young scientists in neuropsychology, the SAB has proposed the creation of a new FESN Prize. We are aware that time is short, but we are eager to provide this opportunity at the upcoming FESN scientific meeting in Leipzig (September 4–6, 2025). Please take note of the following timeline:
- February 21st: Deadline for candidates to submit their applications to their national society (an up-to-date curriculum vitae; contact details including an email address; a picture in jpg format; 1-3 papers as pdf as an example of their scientific work)
- March 4th: Deadline for you to send us the name of your selected candidate (executivesecretary@fesn.eu) with their application and a letter of nomination signed by the representative of the national neuropsychology society. The letter should include a compelling statement clearly articulating the reasons for supporting the candidate.
The winner of this prize:
- He/she will be invited to give a keynote address at the FESN scientific conference
- The FESN will cover the conference fees and travel costs of the winner.
Each national society is responsible for deciding internally how to select one candidate from the received applications. This timeline will enable the SAB to review all proposals between March 4th and 14th, after which the winner will be announced (mid-March).
Here you will find detailed information about the FESN Prize: https://www.fesn.eu/activities/FESN-prize/
We kindly ask you to share this opportunity as widely as possible among your members (see the file attached) and organize the review process for the applications within your national society . A newsletter dedicated to the FESN meeting, including information about the prize, will be sent shortly.
Thank you for your support.
We wish you all a very pleasant end to the year and a wonderful 2025.
We look forward to seeing you at our extraordinary meeting on January 17th.
On behalf of the Management Committee,
Angela Bartolo - FESN Executive Secretary
