PhD Student Competition
The annual PhD competition is a prominent part of the Dutch Medicines Days.
FIGON wants to give the best students from the different regions a stage to present their research.
It is important that candidates from different pharmaceutical and medical research groups from Dutch research institutes compete for the honor and the prizes.
For this all institutes in the Netherlands are yearly invited to nominate a candidate who conducts innovative drug research and can present this research. The institutes decide how this candidate is selected.
When several research schools are located in a region, one candidate per region applies. (Institutes should be in contact with each other about this).
Poster Prize Awarding
The poster prize awarding is a prominent part of the Dutch Medicines Days with its own moderated tour highlighting exceptional visual presentations that combine scientific novelty and excellence during that year’s conference and exhibit.
The Poster Awards Ceremony is one of the highlights of the conference, placing emphasis on the most outstanding visual presentations of each topic.
