The individual selected to receive the IWGSC and Catherine Feuillet Early Career Award will receive a travel stipend of $1,000 (USD) to help defray the costs associated with participating in the workshop. Additional details on the IWGSC Early Career Award can be found here.

The recipient of the award will be expected to give a presentation on their work at the IWGSC workshop that will be held on Saturday 13 January 2024, from 8:00 to 10:10 am. The work should focus on latest frontiers in genome biology, fundamental and applied, leading to significant advances in wheat science.

Eligibility is restricted to graduate or post‐doctoral students, scientists who do not have their own group, and scientists who received their Ph.D. between 2014 and 2024. Priority will also be given to individuals who have not spoken previously at an IWGSC workshop at PAG.

Please note that the PAG organizers are enforcing several rules to ensure diversity of speakers at the various workshops. These include prohibitions on an individual giving the same or a highly similar talk in more than one PAG workshop or giving the same or highly similar talk in the same workshop as given the prior year. We will work with the organizers to enforce this rule and are setting an early deadline for abstract submissions to assist in this effort.
