Dear Colleagues,

On the occasion of its partnership with the ESDR, Galderma has set up two annual Acne & Rosacea Research Awards to encourage young investigators to specialize in Acne and Rosacea.

One award is dedicated to Basic Research, and the other to Translational Research. They will be awarded to investigators who published the best paper or contributed significantly to better understand the fields of Acne and/or Rosacea. In 2015 an ad hoc Acne & Rosacea Selecting Committee will be held to select the Awardees. These awards are not limited to ESDR members, but are open to scientists worldwide.

The awardees will be granted a 10 000 € Award and invited by Galderma to present their work during the next ESDR meeting on Friday 11th of September in Rotterdam, NL.
