A congress is always as good as its presentations are. In this regard the EFORT congress can ever rely on the experts all over Europe and even worldwide.
The EFORT congress awards are selected among the many high quality papers and posters presented at the congress.
EFORT Free Paper Awards – Orthopaedics & Trauma
The best-rated free papers will have the option of competing for the “EFORT Free Paper Award”. From the presentations given in both “orthopaedics” and “trauma”, delegates attending the two “award” sessions during the congress will vote for the three best presentations in each category to receive the “EFORT Free Paper Award in orthopaedics and trauma respectively”. The winners in each of the two categories will also receive a financial reward (gold: EUR 1.500; silver: EUR 1.000; bronze: EUR 500).
Competing authors will be informed accordingly by the EFORT Head Office.
