Each year several competitions are held during the congress, wit prizes awarded to the winners. Theses awards reflect the congress’s longstanding commitment to encouraging young investigators to present their work and engage in scientific collaboration at our gatherings. The awards include the following:

1. Top-Score Abstract Award

To encourage and recongnize outstanding research, the congress presents the top-scoring abstract award. The award is given to three abstracts in each congress that the highest evaluation from each congress’ scientific judging panel.

The awards are will be presented at the annual Royan International Hybrid Twin Congress (Reproductive Biomedicine and Stem Cell Biology & Technology). The winners will receive a certificate of achievement and a monetary prize, conferred by the congress president during a joint session of the two Congresses.

2. Best Poster Award
