Call for Nominations to the Henry Wallman´s Prize in Bio-Medical Engineering 2019

To the memory of Professor Henry Wallman, and the legacy of close cooperation between the clinical and the engineering sciences, Stiftelsen Medicin & Teknik (The Foundation for Bio-medical Engineering) at Chalmers has instituted an annual Innovation Prize in Bio-Medical Engineering. The prize will preferably be awarded to younger researchers who, in close collaboration between expertise in technology and health care, have successfully transferred new knowledge from academia into clinical practice.

The awardee can be a single innovator, or a smaller group, with activities clearly anchored in western Sweden, and then preferably Chalmers and Sahlgrenska University Hospital.

The prize consists of a diploma and a scholarship. For the year 2019 the latter is 50 000 SEK.

Send nominations by email to Stiftelsen Medicin & Teknik:

medicinochteknik(at)gmail.com

In addition to name, the proposal shall contain a CV and a justification, maximum two A4 pages. Proposal shall be submitted at the latest by 31 January 2019.
