Techno-College Innovation Award

The Techno-College invites surgeons and individuals from companies active in the field of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery to apply for The Techno-College Innovation Award.

We are looking for technological breakthroughs in all areas related to thoracic and cardiovascular research in particular for new surgical methods or devices.  Innovations can be in the form of patents, inventions, new products, ideas or services. The innovations should have the potential to change our standard practice and should go beyond marginal improvements in existing procedures or products.

The winner will be chosen on behalf of the European Association of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery by the members of the New Technology Committee. The winner will have the opportunity to present his/her work during the Annual Techno-College on  Saturday September 13 2008. The prize, Euro 5,000, will be awarded during the EACTS Presidential Dinner on Tuesday September 16 2008.
