UEAA “Best Abstracts 2023” competition – deadline for sending the scientific abstracts has been extended to December 31, 2023

Every year, the European Union of Agriculture Academies (UEAA) organizes a UEAA “Best Abstracts 2023” competition for the best scientific abstracts, based on proposals from member academies. We invite you to submit nominations for this new selection.

The abstracts should be written in English, following the instructions available at https://ueaa.info/scientific-news/, and sent by e-mail by December 31, 2023.

After checking that they comply with the editorial rules, these abstracts will be posted on the UEAA website, broadening the dissemination of the work to an international audience and contributing to the influence of the research conducted by your members. At the beginning of 2024, an international jury will rank the three best contributions, which will be awarded a distinction as “Best Abstracts 2023”.

The winning authors will be invited to make an oral presentation online, in English, to the UEAA steering committee in March 2024. The presentation will be recorded and broadcast live on the UEAA website. This honorary recognition would further enhance the value of their work and the selection process.
