The International Birnstiel Award for Doctoral Research in Molecular Life Sciences of the IMP (Research Institute of Molecular Pathology) and Max Birnstiel Foundation has opened its 2022 call.
The deadline for nominations is 30 June.
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.
Nominations are accepted from authorised persons such as department chairs and programme coordinators, and only one nomination per PhD programme or department will be considered. For detailed information, eligibility criteria, and access the application form, please refer to the IMP website at: https://imp.ac.at/birnstiel-award

As mentioned at the last Direction meeting, some heavy work will take place on the Eastern side of the Genopode to build a new extension to our building.
The work starts Monday May 9, 2022.
These constructions will be noisy and will prohibit us to use the “normal” East-side 2nd floor entrance for a while.
The University of Lausanne provides several services to help its students : financial aid and partial exemption from university fees, psychological support, dental check-ups, etc.
