The ESMI Award 2018 was presented in the scope of the Opening Ceremony in San Sebastián. The winner 2018 is MICKAEL TANTER - congratulations! All ESMI members had been invited to nominate their favourite candidates - thanks to all of you who actively participated.
The Laudation Speech was given by Annemie van der Linden and Chrit Moonen.
The three finalists were selected in accordance with the scores given by independent reviewers in a completely blind reviewing process. The winner and the finalists:
The Young Investigator Award 2018 was presented to:
