The award recognises exceptional achievements of up to six PhD students in molecular life sciences from anywhere in the world. The awardees will each receive a trophy, certificate, and 2,000 Euro at an award ceremony at the Vienna BioCenter in December this year. 

The Birnstiel Award targets doctoral students at an advanced stage of their dissertation or recent PhD graduates (graduations at the latest 30 June 2021), whose research has contributed to outstanding discoveries in their respective field.
