The SGV Award

SGV  has established an Award to acknowledge original scientific work that is in accordance with and furthers SGV ’s aims and objectives.  Details of the Award and the procedures to be followed are:

  1. The Award will be known as The SGV Award.
  2. The aim of the Award is to recognise and reward a defined piece of original scientific work on any aspect of laboratory animal science, breeding, housing, husbandry or welfare that could lead or has led to changes or improvements into how animals are utilised in research, testing or education within Europe and that is consistent with SGV ’s aims and objectives.
  3. The Award will be made to coincide with the SGV  Symposium.
  4. The Award will be in the form of a certificate and a monetary prize.
  5. The recipient(s) of an Award will be required to present the results of their work at a platform session at the SGV  Symposium, at which they will also receive the Award.
  6. Nominations may be made by either the individual(s) concerned or by professional colleagues.
  7. A nomination should include a curriculum vitae (including refereed publications) and full details of the scientific work, including any existing publications.  The contribution of the work to the objectives in (2) above should be explicitly described.
  8. Nominations should be sent to the president of the “Ausbildungskommission” or the secretary of SGV and should be made 2 months before the scientific meeting, normally by September 15th a.c. latest.
