Vesalius Innovation Award

Apply before 3 August 2025 for the Vesalius Innovation Award

For the sixth consecutive year, Karger Publishers is seeking top-of-the-line applicants for its Vesalius Innovation Award. This year, the award welcomes early-stage startups that are reimagining how scientific knowledge is communicated, evaluated, and applied. All fields – especially those with relevance to Health Sciences, Open Science, and public engagement, are considered.

After the evaluation by the jury, the top five shortlisted startups will be invited to present their ideas at the STM Week in London in December. This is an excellent opportunity for the startups to showcase their innovations to a wider audience and gain valuable exposure. The winner will receive $15,000, while the two runners-up will be awarded $5,000 each. Over the course of the award’s history, over 13% of all previous applicants, not just the winners, have continued to partner with Karger.
