Every year, the EuPA Awards Committee awards seven prizes recognizing contributions to the proteomics field and community.

• The EuPA Best Doctoral Thesis Award, honouring an early career researcher for their outstanding PhD thesis.
• The EuPA Bioinformatics for Mass Spectrometry Award, honouring a major contribution to bioinformatics developments for mass spectrometry data.
• The EuPA Breakthrough in Proteomics Award, rewarding a discovery that has transformed the frontier of knowledge in proteomics and has a major impact on science, technology, and society.
• The EuPA Juan-Pablo Albar Proteome Pioneer Award, rewarding a researcher with a leading and long-standing involvement in promoting the principles of sharing and integrating resources for the development of excellent research in proteomics.
• The EuPA Science Outreach Award, acknowledging an individual or a group of individuals undertaking an outreach activity.
• The EuPA Technology Award, awarded to a private company for an outstanding contribution in commercialisation of a new proteomics technology.
• The EuPA Vision and Commitment Award, honouring an early career researcher for their involvement and networking within the community of young European scientists in proteomics initiative.

Applications will open in December 2024, so stay stuned !
All these awards will be given to their recipients during the EuPA Awards Ceremony, along other EuPA prizes, such as travel grants.

The goal of the Young Proteomics lnvestigators Club (YPIC) is to favor the networking of young European scientists in proteomics. As such, we are planning several free events for all early career researchers to attend during the EuPA 2025 conference in St Malo.

• Educational Day (Monday, June 16)

- Proteomics 101 / Our Proteomics 101 session introduces key concepts, offering participants a choice between a 90-minute deep dive into bioinformatics, focusing on essential tools and workflows for data-independent acquisition (DIA), or parallel sessions covering the basics of spatial proteomics and large clinical cohorts on body fluids with a focus on quality control (QC)

- Career session / The YPIC team is organising an exciting and interactive career session with the aim to explore the key skills needed for success in different proteomics career paths. We are assembling a diverse panel that can help you learn more about life as an academic, working in a core facility, roles in the proteomics industry or transitioning into the pharmaceutical sector. You will hear about our panelists experiences, interact with them during a panel discussion and have the chance to address them individually during a final round-table activity. Whether you are a young scientist reflecting on your career options or a seasoned proteomics veteran willing to hear the aims and concerns of younger generations, this session on the conference’s kick-off day is not to be missed!   -

• Meet-the-experts session (Thursday June 19)
  An exclusive chance to sit down with proteomics experts! After a roundtable discussion, dive into conversations in small and relaxed groups.
• ECR Networking Event (Tuesday, June 17)
  Bring your energy to a privatised bar in St Malo for an evening full of activities and networking!

Stay tuned for upcoming details and information ! Should you have any queries, contact us at ypic@eupa.org.

EuPA and National Societies offer Travel Grants for students and ECRs for participation in the EuPA 2025 Conference in Saint-Malo, France.

The application of all PhD/Master students and ECRs is encouraged. Priority will be given based on the relevance of the abstract, on gender balance, and on the geographic distribution of the applicants. In order to avoid double funding, EuPA and the National Societies ask applicants to choose if they apply to the travel grants offered by their National Society (if that is applicable) or the one offered by EuPA.
