The annual award is bestowed to young professionals for innovation in the field of feline infectious diseases and/or applied immunology.
Nominations have opened for this year’s Young Scientist Award, organised by the European Advisory Board on Cat Diseases (ABCD) and Boehringer Ingelheim.
Launched in 2008, the annual award is bestowed to young professionals for innovation and outstanding work in feline infectious diseases and/or applied immunology.

Last year’s award recipients were Julia Klaus of the Zurich University VetSuisse Faculty, and Dr Yasmin Parr of the MRC-University of Glasgow, Centre for Virus Research.
An ABCD spokesperson said: “The 2022 award (1000€) is funded by Boehringer Ingelheim and will be presented by the ABCD at the congress of the International Society of Feline Medicine, to be held from 30 June to 3 July in Rhodes.
“The award winner will receive a complimentary registration to this congress. Return travel expenses and accommodation will also be covered to allow the laureate to attend the event. The winner is expected to give a short presentation or present a poster of his/her findings at this event.”
