Doha: Aspetar and The International Sports Medicine Federation (FIMS) has a long history of collaborating on research and education in sports medicine and science. Aspetar presents the Young Investigator Awards for the third time as part of the 36th World Congress of Sports Medicine in Athens, Greece, from September 24 to 27, 2021, at the Megaron Athens International Conference Center.
These awards, presented to four researchers for the best poster and oral presentations during this biannual congress, aim to encourage and support young scientists and reward outstanding dissemination of their work to an international audience.
The Aspetar Young Investigator Awards will enable young and established researchers and clinicians to further develop and apply the highest research standards in sports medicine and science to benefit ongoing basic and clinical research projects.
All eligible reward winners must be within six years of completing a research degree or medical residency and must not hold a level higher than assistant professor.
The Aspetar Young Investigator Awards Committee, five experienced scientists and clinicians from Aspetar and FIMS, will independently evaluate the presentations using standardised assessment templates.
Since establishing a formal partnership with FIMS in 2016, Aspetar has contributed to the ongoing success of the FIMS World Congress of Sports Medicine through keynote lectures, symposia, and workshops on various sports medicine and science topics.
As one of the world leaders in sports medicine and science, Aspetar continues to prioritise extensive clinical, research, and education collaborations with many local, regional, and international individuals, institutions, and organisations.
