Announcement of the 2011 Research Award

The German Society for Orthopaedics and Orthopaedic Surgery (DGOOC1) in collaboration with CeramTec has offered since 2003 an annual award for research together with the sum of 5,000 Euros (formerly known as the BIOLOX® award).

The Research Award has now been endowed by CeramTec until 2012.

The Research Award is offered to young doctors, engineers, and scientists up to age 40 for outstanding research and development work in the field of bioceramics and the problem of wear in joint replacements and in combination with clinical results of ceramic implants.

The work can have been published in a professional journal or in a book. Also accepted are unpublished manuscripts, which are intended for publication or which have already been submitted for publication. Likewise, diplomas, dissertations and post-doctoral dissertations are accepted.

The award winner is selected by a jury of the DGOOC.

The Research Award is presented each year by the President of the DGOOC at the annual meeting of the society.
