Edith Busch – Prize for Young Investigators 2025
The Edith Busch-Stiftung (EBS) was founded in 2015 to support research on scleroderma aimed at unraveling its pathogenesis and improving therapy. To this end, it invites experts in the field to nominate outstanding young (nominees should not have reached the final career step) investigators who have done ground breaking research which fits the aims of the EBS.
Nominations will be considered and reviewed by the scientific advisory board of EBS. A Prize of 15.000 EUR in support for further research will be awarded during the upcoming World Scleroderma Congress in Athens (March 5-7, 2026) to the candidate selected by the board.
