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 World Congress for Microcirculation in Paris, September 25-28, 2010. Furthermore, he will be asked to write a review for the Journal of Vascular Research.
The deadline for nominations (not applications) is December 15, 2009

Malpighi Award 2008: Prof. dr. Olga Hudlicka University of Birmingham, UK |
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!
Deadline March 31, 2010

| Servier Award 2006: Dr. Terhi Kärpänen Molecular/Cancer Biology Lab, University of Helsinki, Finland in recognition of the article "Defective valves and abnormal mural cell recruitment underlie lymphatic vascular failure in lymphedema distichiasis" by T.V. Petrova, T. Kärpänen, C. Normén, R. Mellor, T. Tamakoshi, D. Finegold, R. Ferrell, D. Kerjaschki, P. Mortimer, S. Ylä-Herttuala, N. Miura & K. Alitalo Nature Medicine 10:974-981 (2004) |

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 March 10, 2010
| Van Leeuwenhoek distinctive Travel Award 2008: Dr. Jürgen Schymeinsky Institute of Physiology, LMU Munich, Germany |

All papers published in JVR will be eligible to enter for the JVR/ESM prize. $ 1,000 will be presented to the first author of the most prestigious paper, as judged by a panel of experts made up of 3 ESM members and 3 JVR editors. The awardee will be given free membership of the ESM for 4 years. Furthermore, he will be invited to organize a symposium at the next ESM Congress for which he will receive a contribution of $ 1,500. (In addition, the local congress organizers are expected to support this symposium e.g. by waiving registration fees).

JVR/ESM Prize 2008: Dr. R.T.A. Megens Department of Physiology, Maastricht University, the Netherlands in recognition of the article "Two-photon microscopy of vital murine elastic and muscular arteries. Combined structural and functional imaging with subcellular resolution " by R.T.A Megens et al. Journal of Vascular Research 44: 87-98 (2007) |
Together with the submission of an abstract for Wold Congress for Microcirculation in Paris in 2010 to be held September 25-28, young scientists may apply for a travel grant of € 500.00 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.

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.
