Bright Minds in Neonatology Award for CEPAS 2026

The European Board of Neonatal Child Health Research (EBNCHR), the advocacy arm of ESPR, is proud to launch a special initiative for European national neonatal societies. This programme is designed to support and recognise outstanding Early Career Investigators in neonatology by offering them a unique opportunity to attend our Congress of the European Paediatric Academic Societies (CEPAS 2026) with complimentary registration.

We warmly invite each national society to nominate one Early Career Investigator with the best abstract form their national congress. This initiative is an excellent way to invest in the next generation of neonatal leaders, provide them with exposure to cutting-edge research, and strengthen collaboration across Europe.

• How It Works
  • Each national society may select one nominee with the highest scoring abstract form their national congress.
  • The nominee's name and contact details along with the abstract are sent to cepas@eurokongress.de. 
  • The CEPAS Scientific Committee will select up to 15 candiates for presentation and complimentary registration. 
  • Deadline: TBD

We look forward to receiving your nominations and welcoming your Early Career Investigators to CEPAS 2026, where their contributions will be celebrated and their careers supported.
