The International Dupuytren Award

The International Dupuytren Award recognizes exceptional scientific publications on research or clinical treatment of Dupuytren and/or Ledderhose disease. Research can be about treatment, epidemiology, pathogenesis, genomics, or other areas, like anatomy, improving the understanding and treatment of these diseases.

The Award carries a monetary prize of 1,000 EUR.

Who can participate?

The publication must be an original research paper that has been published in a peer reviewed journal or book and that has not yet been awarded elsewhere. The Award will normally be given to the leading (first) author but, upon request, the prize money can be split. Applicants can be physicians or scientists. Please submit only one paper per leading author, not several. We recommend to submit the paper that you consider presenting the most outstanding new research or clinical aspects.

Who will elect the winner?

The winner will be selected by the Scientific Advisory Board and the Management Board of the International Dupuytren Society. The winner will be announced at the annual members' assembly of the Dupuytren Society or at another event selected by the Scientific Advisory Board. The International Dupuytren Award will be awarded annually but the Scientific Advisory Board may decide to waive the Award if the submitted publications for that year do not meet the criteria.

Deadline for submission

The award in a specific year is given for a paper that was published in the previous year. For example the Dupuytren Award 2010 was given for a publication of 2009.

Please submit applications for the 2019 Award (i.e. your paper published in 2018) latest by 28 February 2019, including

• the submitted paper or at least its abstract should be in English. For submission in other languages please provide us with a translation.

• curriculum vitae of the author(s). Usually the CV of the first author is sufficient but if you intend to split the award, please submit CVs of all related authors.
