The Gerd Döring Award is given annually to honour an exceptional early career young European scientist. The Award, a monetary donation of 5,000 euro to support research, is presented at the Opening Plenary of the annual ECFS conference. The award is primarily judged (80%) on a paper published in the previous 3 calendar years which has made a significant impact on the understanding or treatment of Cystic Fibrosis. Personal motivation and CV will make a 20% contribution to the scoring. https://www.ecfs.eu/conferences/awards
