Calling all postgraduate students and early- to mid- career researchers (EMCRs) in the medtech and brain health research spaces – we want you!
The CMDT Early-Career Researcher Awards are open to postgraduate students and EMCRs (<10 years post-PhD excluding career breaks) engaged in research and development of medical related technologies and/or brain health research. Please feel free to pass this call on to those who may be eligible!

Whether you present a poster or an elevator pitch, you have the opportunity to win cash prizes sponsored by CMDT!
Please note that if you are invited to present you will need to register for the conference.
