About the Lifetime Achievement Award
Each year, the EPC selects one or two European pancreatologists who have consistently contributed to the further development of the field of pancreatology in an outstanding way, both in regard to scientific knowledge but also in regard to improving the lives of patients suffering from pancreatic diseases.
These individuals are recognized by the pancreatic community as having also had a significant impact on the European Pancreatic Club and the pancreatic community. Only individuals who are EPC members can be nominated to receive this award, and they must have had a career in pancreatology spanning at least 30 years.
Nomination process
The EPC Secretary will accept nominations by May 1st of each year. The EPC Council votes and awards the final recipient. The Lifetime Achievement Award is normally announced at the Gala Dinner at the annual EPC meeting.
