Introduction

The International Award is a prestigious recognition by the ESB of scientists who have generally spent their career outside Europe, who have been internationally recognized, have a high scientific profile, and have made major contributions to the field of biomaterials. Strong evidence of collaborations with members of our scientific community in Europe throughout their career is expected. The award will be presented during the 34th Annual ESB conference in Torino, Italy (7th-11th Sept 2025).

This award is given by the European Society for Biomaterials Council and consists of a plaque, a refund of the registration fee for the ESB conference, accommodation at the conference hotel for the duration of the conference, and an economy-class airplane or train ticket.

George Winter awardees are not eligible for the International award (and vice versa).
