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 15th CINP Congress. That programme was posthumously named the Rafaelsen Young Investigators Award to honour Dr. Rafaelsen, who died in 1987.

The recipients of the upcoming Award will be chosen by an international scientific jury in March 2025. Three awardees will be selected and presented with the award consisting of a certificate, a USD 200 cash stipend, three nights of accommodation during the Congress in Melbourne and complimentary registration fee for the CINP-AsCNP2025 Joint Congress. Selected recipients will also have the opportunity to present their abstract orally as part of the Rafaelsen Symposium.
