Regolamento Premi 2021

Vi informiamo che è possibile sottomettere la propria candidatura per i premi messi a disposizione dalla SIRC nell’ambito del XXIII Congresso Nazionale della Società che si terrà ad Imola, in modalità mista, dal 28 al 30 Ottobre 2021.

Accedendo alla preposta sezione del sito SIRC è possibile prendere visione dei Premi e del Regolamento.

In particolare, sarà possibile candidarsi al Premio Valsava entro le ore 13.00 di giorno 1 Ottobre 2021 (scadenza non prorogabile); mentre la candidatura ai premi Best Oral/Best Poster potrà essere fatta contestualmente alla sottomissione dell’abstract (e quindi con le stesse scadenze).
