Ole-Jørgen Skog Award and Alcohol & Injuries Scholarship

Ole-Jorgen Skog Award (Formerly the Early Career Scientist Award)

The purpose of the KBS Ole-Jorgen Skog Award is to recognize the excellence of a paper presented by an early career scientist at the KBS Annual Symposium held each year in early June. The award is a cash prize of 250 Euros and two years membership of the Kettil Bruun Society. The best paper presented by an early career scientist will be selected by a scientific committee (Jacek Moskalewicz, Mats Ramstedt, Bill Kerr and Florence Kerr-Corea), based on its contribution to advancing knowledge in alcohol research and on its theoretical and methodological quality. The winner will be announced and the award presented during the conference dinner on Thursday night.
