The MEDICON 2010 Young Investigators Awards
The MEDICON 2010 awards committee will try to identify scientific projects, technologies and innovations from young investigators that potentially will have a path-breaking impact on the further development of biomedical engineering.
Awards will be presented and delivered to the winners at the Closing Ceremony of the Conference (May 30, 2010). The first three Awards will be accompanied by a prize.
