Student Awards
Dear Students, Researchers, and Colleagues,
The Organizing Committee of the ESOVE 2026 Conference is thrilled to announce the official Student Awards for this year's conference. We recognize that the future of vector ecology relies heavily on the innovative research, rigorous methodologies, and fresh perspectives brought forward by our early-career scientists.
To encourage and reward outstanding scientific contributions, we are proud to present two highly coveted awards for the best student presentations. These prizes have been thoughtfully curated to provide meaningful, career-accelerating support to the winners.
First Prize
Journal Publication Fee WaiverThe first-place winner will be granted a complete fee waiver for publishing their presented research as a full scientific article in the prestigious Journal of Vector Ecology, entirely free of charge. This is an exceptional opportunity to share your groundbreaking findings with the global scientific community while bypassing open-access publication costs.
Second Prize
DataSharp Academy Consultancy VoucherThe second-place winner will receive a complimentary voucher for 20 hours of expert technical consulting provided by a specialist from DataSharp Academy. This personalized consultancy will focus on statistical data analysis directly related to the student's research, equipping them with advanced analytical tools, coding strategies, and methodologies to elevate the quality and impact of their scientific work.
Eligibility & Selection Process
All students (undergraduate, master's, and doctoral candidates) who submit an abstract and present their research—either as an oral presentation or a poster—at the ESOVE 2026 Conference will automatically be considered for these awards. Winners will be selected by a distinguished panel of judges based on scientific rigor, originality, methodological soundness, and clarity of presentation.
We eagerly anticipate your submissions and look forward to witnessing the remarkable research you will share with us at the conference in Valencia.
Sincerely,
Dr. Rubén Bueno-Marí
President of the Organizing Committee and Regional Director of SOVE for Europe
