ESP is proud to announce the continuation of the ESP Prize for Innovation in Pathology which was inaugurated during ECP 2025 in Vienna.
The prize recognizes groundbreaking advancements that are shaping the future of diagnostic medicine. It has been established to honour individuals or teams who demonstrate exceptional creativity and impact in pathology, including novel technologies, transformative research, or pioneering clinical applications. By celebrating innovation, the award highlights contributions that enhance diagnostic accuracy, improve patient outcomes, and advance the pathology profession.
All submitted abstracts, which have been accepted as either oral presentation or physical poster for the scientific programme of the Congress, are evaluated based on originality, scientific merit, and potential for lasting impact.
Out of those submissions a maximum of three abstracts will be selected and will be awarded the ESP Prize for Innovation in Pathology consisting of a monetary grant of EUR 500.
