The FAOBMB Young Scientist Award is awarded only in the year in which a Congress is held. For 2018, two awards were given to highly qualified young scientists, one male and one female, from the FAOBMB region. The Young Scientist Awardees received awards and presented their work at the 24th IUBMB-15th FAOBMB Congress, which took place in Seoul, Korea, 4-9 June, 2018.
The next FAOBMB Young Scientist Awards will be presented in 2021 at the 28th FAOBMB Conference to be held in Christchurch, New Zealand during 21-25 November, 2021.
The link to the ZIP folder containing the detailed Guidelines and Application form for the Young Scientist Award will be made available early in 2021.
