Call for IWGSC-Feuillet Early Career Award - PAG 2026

CALL IS NOW CLOSED

The individual selected to receive the IWGSC-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 on Saturday 10 January 2026. The work should focus on the latest frontiers in genome biology, both fundamental and applied, leading to significant advances in wheat science.

Eligibility: graduate or postdoctoral students, scientists who do not lead their own research group, or scientists who received their Ph.D. between 2016 and 2026. Priority will be given to individuals who have not previously spoken at an IWGSC workshop at PAG.

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