Eligibility for consideration for the Stefania Maggi Awards requires applicants to be:

• An early-career geriatrician* as defined by the SIG rules
  or
• An early-career researcher** submitting an abstract in the field of geriatric medicine, working under the supervision of a qualified geriatrician

*up to five years after obtaining the qualification of geriatrician; in countries where geriatrics is not a specialty, a resident in internal medicine or family medicine could be considered if this is the purpose of training and is consistent with his or her professional goals.
**up to five years after obtaining a qualification/professional title in geriatric medicine.

Additional Conditions:

1. First author of the awarded study should be available to attend the Stefania Maggi Award Session in-person and deliver the presentation themselves.
As the rule, the presenter must be an early-career geriatrician or an early-career researcher. If the main author is unable to attend the award ceremony on-site for any reason, another author listed in the submitted author list may attend the ceremony and present the work on behalf of the main author, provided that they are an early-career geriatrician or researcher. Substitution by an individual who is not an early-career geriatrician or researcher, or by a person not included in the submitted author list, is not permitted.
2. Recipients of the previous year’s Award are not considered eligible.

Important note: Geographical and gender balance will be considered when finalizing the list of awardees.
