The Maccacaro Awards 2010
Since 2007 the Associazione Italiana di Epidemiologia (AIE) at the end of its annual Congress awards the best young oral presenters a prize entitled to Giulio Alfredo Maccacaro, one of the founders of Epidemiology in Italy.
Within EUROEPI 2010 two Maccacaro Awards of 1,200 and 1,000 Euros will be assigned.
The Scientific Committee wishes to thank all the participants to the Maccacaro Awards for adhering to the initiative. The abstracts have blindly scored by two independent reviewers: those selected for oral presentations by researchers less than 40 years will concur to the Awards. The choice was not easy: we received more than 100 requests of participation and only 40 could be accepted.
We look forward to seeing you in Florence.
