Cortex Prize
The Cortex Prize is an biannual award to emphasise the achievements in neuroscience. It is awarded to a promising young scientist in the field of neuropsychology. The scientist has to be within 7 years from the PhD. The awardee will be recommended by their member society and has to send a curriculum vitae, a letter of recommendation, as well as 1-3 papers in which he or she presents his/her scientific work. Each member society can support at most one colleague. The Scientific Advisory Board does the ranking of all candidates and proposes one scientist after reviewing his scientific work. The final confirmation will be made by the Management Committee. The prize is officially granted during the biannual FESN congress. The winner is invited to give a keynote address and to submit a review of their work to the journal ‘Cortex’.
Application procedure:

- the letter should include a strong statement as to how the nominee meets the criteria
- an up-to-date curriculum vitae with contact details (email address and picture in jpg format).
