National Societies Best Papers

National Societies Best Paper

Each year, the National Societies are invited to submit a paper they nationally recognised during the year.

The SECEC Research Committee reviews the applications and the top ranked 5 papers are invited to present their work during a special session at the SECEC Annual Congress.

The Jury, composed of members of the SECEC Research and Membership committees, selects the winner who receives a free registration for the Annual Congress the year after!

Stay tuned for the next available application (2025)

The paper should:

  • be an original abstract
  • have been recognised at the national level (as "Best Paper" for example)
  • not have otherwise been accepted for oral presentation at the SECEC congress
  • be submitted in English
