Allergopharma Award

About

The EAACI Allergopharma Research Award was first established in 2000 on the initiative of Allergopharma Joachim Ganzer KG in collaboration with the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. It is intended that the award should recognise scientific achievement of young scientists working in the field of allergy and encourage their engagement in further research. Therefore, the award is open to EAACI Junior Members who have conducted their research in a European centre. More information on EAACI Junior Members you will find by clicking here. (“EAACI Junior Membership shall be available to all those who are aged 35 years or less at the time of renewal of their subscription.”)

The award is valued at EUR 10,000 and will be granted to the institution or research organisation the awardee primarily conducts the research for. The awardee will be presented with the EAACI Allergopharma Research Award during the Opening Ceremony of the EAACI Annual Congress each year. Registration to the congress will be supported by the grant.

Applications for 2024 are closed.
