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 IUPS/European Congress
for Microcirculation in Birmingham UK, July 2013. Furthermore, he will be
asked to write a review for the Journal of Vascular Research.
The deadline for nominations (not applications) is Dec.
10, 2012

This award is offered by SERVIER (donation 4,000 €) in partnership with the European Society for Microcirculation for an outstanding publication on microcirculation/vascular biology research in the experimental or the clinical environment. The project proposed must be original research, of international relevance and significant value and be consistent with the main objectives of the ESM. If you or one of your colleagues have published a very significant study during the last two years, please apply (or nominate a colleague) for this award!

Servier Award 2004 : |
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.
Deadline Dec. 15, 2012

Together with the submission of an abstract for the IUPS / European Congress for Microcirculation in Birmingham in July 2013, young scientists may apply for a travel grant of € 500 which will cover the registration fee and support their travel costs. Prizes are awarded on the basis of the quality of the submitted abstracts. Travel Awards may only be awarded to an individual on one occasion, therefore previous awardees should not apply.

A new award in clinicial microcirculation has been established by AIMAGO and the ESM:
the AIMAGO-ESM award for research in clinical microcirculation
This award will be presented to the best clinically oriented microcirculation
free communication at the European Society for Microcirculation Conference
(Birmingham, July 2013).
It will be judged on the quality of the science and the defense of the work
by the presenter.
The award entails 2000 € plus the free use of an Aimago Research machine
for 6 months. If your work fits the criteria, please send your abstract to
the President of the award committee (deadline to be anounced):

Researchers who have been active in microcirculation and vascular biology for a long time (but may be retired from their professional duties) can be awarded honorary membership upon suggestion by national societies or individual members of the ESM. The suggestion should be accompanied by a two-page C.V., a publication list and the motives for the suggestion.
Up to 2002 this career development award was given biannually (donation $
5.000 by the Laboratoire L. Lafon) aimed at researchers in the first half
of their career who have shown by relevant publications that they are able
and willing to develop and support new concepts and perspectives for microcirculatory
and vascular biology research in the experimental or the clinical environment.
As the Laboratoire Lafon no longer exists, this prize was donated for the
last time in 2002.
