Rafaelsen Young Investigators Award

In 1986 Ole Rafaelsen and William Bunney were instrumental in establishing a CINP programme supporting the attendance of young scientists at the XVth CINP Congress. That programme was posthumously named the Rafaelsen Young Investigators Award to honour Dr. Rafaelsen, who died in 1987.

The recipients of the CINP 2024 World Congress Awards will be chosen by an international scientific jury in March 2024. Three awardees will be selected and presented with the award consisting of a certificate, a USD 200 cash stipend, three nights of accommodation at the congress and complimentary registration fee for the CINP World Congress. Selected recipients will also have the opportunity to present their abstract orally as part of the Rafaelsen Symposium.
