Entries are open for this year’s Franz Gerstenbrand Award, which recognises outstanding work in neuro-rehabilitation.
The award, run by the World Federation for Neuro-rehabilitation (WFNR), is open to clinicians, researchers and allied health professionals worldwide, and is worth £3,000 to the winner.
Submissions must demonstrate how a positive difference has been made to patient outcomes and can involve any aspect of neuro-rehabilitation, such as a patient or clinic management initiative, research project, best practice development or the use of a new technological development.
The work described must be completed and have already produced results or been published in the last 12 months.
The WFNR award is named after Professor Franz Gerstenbrand in recognition of his contribution to neuro-rehabilitation, and entries – invited both from WFNR members and non-members – are particularly encouraged from people aged under 35, ahead of the deadline on October 31.
The award is for a travel bursary to a clinical/scientific conference, professional development course or research project.

The winner will be announced at the 12th World Congress for Neurorehabilitation which takes place from December 14-17 at the Messe Wien Exhibition and Congress Centre, Vienna, Austria.
