During the 17th EAHP congress, in Milan 2012, EAHP will once again offer the Student Science Award to one or several European Pharmaceutical Student Association (EPSA) students, hence recognising and honouring the best scientific research manuscript authored by an undergraduate student. This award recognises a student’s significant intellectual contribution which promotes the state of the art in hospital pharmacy and pharmaceutical research methods or theories.
 EPSA students and members are invited, through their organisation, to submit manuscripts to an EAHP jury, who will select the best paper. The latter will be presented during the congress and published in EJHP.

Nature of the Award

First author of the winning article will receive free attendance to the 17th EAHP Congress in Milan and €500 for travel and accommodation expenses, plus official recognition of the winner during the EAHP Congress closing ceremony.

Any manuscript under the category of original research, case reports, scientific commentary and review articles, written by any undergraduate hospital pharmacy student(s) and approved for publication on or before EJHP March 2012 issue in either the EJHP Practice or the EJHP Science journal, will be eligible for this competition.
