Begnudelli Awards
And Travel Grants

During Pezcoller Symposium is organized a Poster Session to give to young researchers an opportunity to present their research and, potentially, be noticed by leading scientists.

A specific scientific committee blindly evaluates the submitted abstracts and ranks them, according to the quality of the research project.

The authors of the top 3 posters have the opportunity to present their research work in a plenary session, in front of the speakers and other participants.

BEGNUDELLI AWARDS

Established in 2003, in memory of Maria Begnudelli, these are awards (€500) to the best researchers working in Italian laboratory, institution or university, who have presented their research in the poster session.
