“We do need awards because they allow people to dream”

―Christian Gerber, President of the Foundation Board

of the ResOrtho (“Research in Orthopaedics”) Foundation

This feeling resonates strongly in the orthopaedic community, where numerous peers have been recognized for their exceptional efforts, fostering collaboration and innovation.

In the upcoming annual congress in Hamburg next year, alongside the esteemed Jacques Duparc and Michael Freeman Awards, EFORT takes great pride in hosting the Meyer Award ceremony. This prestigious accolade celebrates individuals who have asked questions differently and introduced solutions previously unimagined. Their groundbreaking contributions may significantly transformed the lives of orthopaedic patients.

If you share our belief in this transformative paradigm, we invite you to be part of this remarkable change.

Join us in Hamburg, Germany in 2024:

seize the opportunity to submit your abstract now and increase your chances to join the family of Jacques Duparc and Michael Freeman awardees.
