Prizes & Awards:
The Malpighi Award - ESM
This most prestigious award of the ESM recognizes scientific achievements of a longer scientific career. It aims at researchers who are active in the field and stand out by their publications and scientific contributions, by their service to the entire field of microcirculatory and vascular biology research, and by their promotion of younger scientists. All Malpighi Awardees are Honorary Members and get free life membership to the ESM.
Nominations by national societies as well as by individual members of the ESM are welcome. They should include a two-page C.V., a publication list and a short description of the nominee's scientific contributions justifying the suggestion.
The awardee is invited to give the Malpighi lecture at the Joint ESM/GfMVB Congress in Munich, October 13-16, 2011. Furthermore, she/he will be asked to write a review for the Journal of Vascular Research.

Van Leeuwenhoek distinctive Travel Award - ESM
This award entails a donation of 2,500 € to allow younger researchers (less than 12 years after examination) in the area of microcirculatory and vascular biology research to visit research laboratories to learn new techniques and discuss topics, methods and perspectives with established researchers. A number of centers of reference within Europe, most of them led by members of the Society, are willing to consider applications to host such visits. In addition, the recipient of the award is free to suggest other laboratories and places. Personal applications as well as suggestions are invited. The candidate - who does not need to be an ESM member - should provide a two-page curriculum vitae and a detailed section on scientific development and future perspectives. The proposed place(s) and research lab(s) to be visited should be indicated describing the future benefit of the visit to the candidate's research. The top ranking application will be rewarded by a free subscription of the Journal of Vascular Research for two years.
