EPSO initiated the YPSA awards to encourage the development of ideas and imaginative thinking in the plant sciences.
EPSO is happy to announce the two winners of the 6th EPSO Young Plant Scientist Award: Himanshu Chhillar was selected for his fundamental plant research and Javier Belinchon-Moreno for his applied plant research.
Himanshu and Javier will have the opportunity to present their research during the Science Day of the EPSO General Assembly to be held in Ljubljana, Slovenia on the 18.06.2025. In addition, each awardee will receive 200 € and EPSO will cover their travel to the meeting.
We would like to thank the distinguished jury members Alan Schulman (chair), Marie-Theres Hauser, Angelo Santino, Timothy George and Odd Arne Rognli. The two winners were selected from among 22 PhD students who submitted from 15 different entities and 12 countries across Europe and New Zealand to the EPSO YPSA call.
