12-15 September 2027, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
The GERLI society has as an international influence through its annual international lipid meeting, the membership of many colleagues from many countries attending this meeting and our affiliation with EuroFed Lipid. We have often been asked by colleagues from european and other countries whether their PhD students could apply to the GERLI PhD prize awarded every year and highlighted by an oral presentation at the GERLI international lipid meeting.
So far it was not possible since the GERLI PhD prize is by definition awarded to young researchers who have carried out their PhD work in a French laboratory (independently of their nationality). However, since the GERLI society is supported by more than one-third of international colleagues attending the annual meeting, the GERLI scientific board has decided to launch in 2026 an International-GERLI PhD Award, in addition to the national GERLI PhD Award.
The International-GERLI PhD prize is offered to reward a PhD thesis work in the field of lipid science.
It is not intended to compete with other existing prizes such as the European young lipid scientist award from EuroFed Lipid, but will extend the possibilities to recognize young lipid scientists from any country and highlight their work. To apply for the 2026 International-GERLI PhD Award, candidates must have defended their PhD in 2025. Candidates will provide to the GERLI secretary their CV, published papers, PhD thesis manuscript (written in English) and referee’s PhD reports. In a short cover letter addressed to the GERLI scientific council, the candidate will, (i) highlight in 10-15 lines how their work advanced knowledge on lipids, and (ii) describe in another 5-10 lines their relationship with GERLI (i.e. recent participation of lab members to GERLI international lipid meetings, recent memberships).
The GERLI board and scientific council will assess all applications and deliver the prize. The International-GERLI Award is 1500€. The awardee will present his/her PhD work at the occasion of the 2026 GERLI international lipid meeting (https://www.gerli.com/congres/icbl-gerli-2026-lipid-conference/).
