Mission 2
Empower the development of young scientists
Awards
Every year ECSS organises a variety of awards that put young scientists in the spotlight.
Young scientists have the opportunity of entering these prestigious awards for scientific excellence, where their outstanding work can be presented at the ECSS annual congress. The awards include:
- Young Investigators Award (YIA) – Orals
- Young Investigators Award (YIA) – Posters
- GSSI Sports Nutrition Award
Today many former YIA winners are still closely connected to the College and even support the ECSS on its boards and committees. The award has functioned for previous YIA winners as a starting point of their scientific careers.
