Dear EACTS member
Techno-College Innovation Award
The Techno-College invites surgeons and individuals from companies active in the field of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery to apply for this new award.
We are looking for technological breakthroughs in all areas related to thoracic and cardiovascular research in particular for new surgical methods or devices. Innovations can be in the form of patents, inventions, new products, ideas or services. The innovations should have the potential to change our standard practice and should go beyond marginal improvements in existing procedures or products.
The winner will be chosen on behalf of the European Association of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery by the members of the New Technology Resource Group. The winner will have the opportunity to present his/her work during the Annual Techno-College on Saturday 15th September 2007. The prize, Euro 5,000, will be awarded during the EACTS Presidential Dinner on Tuesday 17th September 2007. Deadline for application is 1st July 2007. Further details
