ESGO Lifetime Achievement Award

for Outstanding Contribution to the Treatment of Women with Gynaecological Cancers

The ESGO Council decided to initiate this year the biennial Lifetime Achievement Award for an outstanding contribution in the treatment of women with gynaecological cancers.

The first Lifetime Achievement Award will be assigned at the ESGO 2019 congress in Athens to recognise a European specialist and international collaborator, who contributed significantly to the improvement of treatment and care of women with gynaecological cancers, through a lifetime commitment to clinical research and/or education.

The awardee will deliver a 20 min presentation at the special plenary session on Nov 4th at the ESGO 2019 Congress in Athens, receive a diploma and have an invited speaker status.

To decide on the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award, ESGO President and Congress Scientific Committee are seeking nominations from the ESGO community and ESGO partners.

Suggestions of 1 or 2 nominees are welcome at adminoffice@esgomail.org, with a short (one paragraph) description of the major contribution underpinning the nomination of this colleague.

Interested to send us your suggestion? Download and fill in the Nomination form.

Nominations will be accepted until April 19, 2019.

With this we hope to make the ESGO Lifetime Achievement Award a highly regarded award for an outstanding contribution in the field.
