awards at EBCC-14

Together with the EBC Council, we have worked very hard to provide participants with the opportunity to have their work recognised by the Breast Cancer Community, by offering prestigious awards to participants and their team. More information is available below about our three awards: the European Breast Cancer Council Young Investigator Innovation Award (EBCC YIIA), the European Breast Cancer Council Multidisciplinary Team Award (EBCC MTEA) and the European Breast Cancer Arts And Humanities Award.

The European Breast Cancer Council Young Investigator Innovation Award (EBCC YIIA)

What is it?

A new prestigious award in medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiotherapy, medical imaging, survivorship, translational and basic research, and healthcare research related to breast cancer.

On top of providing a state-of-the-art educational programme, EBCC-14 aims to attract high-quality original research in the areas of medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiotherapy, medical imaging, survivorship, translational and basic research, and health care research related to breast cancer. The main topic of the conference is ‘research and innovation in the multidisciplinary management of breast cancer’.

Who is eligible?

Early and mid-career investigators up to 45 years of age that submit an original research abstract to EBCC-14 in the fields of medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiotherapy, medical imaging, survivorship, translational and basic research, and health care research related to breast cancer not previously published or presented in another conference.

What is the EBCC YIIA selection procedure?

The EBCC scientific committee that has reviewed all the abstracts submitted to EBCC will provide to the EBCC YIIA selection committee a list of the top submitted abstracts. The EBCC YIIA selection committee will further select among the top abstracts based on the criteria of excellence, innovation and impact for the patient and the society. Then, the committee will invite the author of the selected abstract to submit a 5-page CV and a 2-page outline of the importance of the present work and the next steps she/he plans to take. Only one candidate will be retained to receive this award.

The European Breast Cancer Council Multidisciplinary Team Award (EBCC MTEA)

What is it?

A new prestigious award for a multidisciplinary team conducting impactful research related to breast cancer.

Why?

The European Breast Cancer Conference prides itself on offering state-of-the-art education, but this year we also want to provide a forum for original research to be presented.
EBCC-14 aims to attract high quality original multidisciplinary research in breast cancer. The main topic of EBCC-14 will be research and innovation in the multidisciplinary management of breast cancer. For this reason, we are launching the prestigious EBCC MTEA.

Who is eligible?

Multidisciplinary teams that submit an original research abstract to EBCC-14 in the fields of medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiotherapy, medical imaging, survivorship, translational and basic research, and health care research related to breast cancer not previously published or presented in another conference. The work needs to be multidisciplinary.

What does EBCC MTEA provide?

The multidisciplinary team award recipients will receive 5 000 EUR, free travel arrangements, accommodation, registration to the conference and an invitation to the faculty dinner for 3 people.

What is the EBCC MTEA selection procedure?

The EBCC scientific committee that has reviewed all the abstracts submitted to EBCC will provide to the EBCC MTEA selection committee a list of the top submitted abstracts that involve multidisciplinary work. The EBCC MTEA selection committee will further select among the top abstracts based on the criteria of excellence, innovation and impact for the patient and the society. Then, the committee will invite the multidisciplinary team of the selected abstract to submit a 2-page outline of the importance of the present work and the next steps the team plans to take. Only one multidisciplinary team will be selected to receive this award.

The European Breast Cancer Arts and Humanities Award

The EBCC-14 Organising Committee invites nominations for the EBCC Arts and Humanities Award, a prize that recognises an outstanding contribution to the arts/humanities and which has a direct relationship to the fight against breast cancer.

The EBCC Arts and Humanities Award will be awarded to the individual who has “made a difference” through an artistic or humanistic activity such as: artwork, dance, film, literature, music, photography or poetry and whose contribution and personal achievements reflect the efforts and vision that unite EBCC.

It is important that such efforts do not go unrecognised, thus we invite you to look within your respective countries and nominate an individual whom you believe deserves this significant recognition on the occasion of the 14th European Breast Cancer Conference in Milan.

The EBCC Arts and Humanities Award is worth 1’500 EUR and includes an all expenses paid trip to attend EBCC-14.
