Introduction

The annual ESPE-Hormone Research in Paediatrics prize, initiated in 2004, rewards a young clinical or experimental scientist for the "best original paper" published in Hormone Research in Paediatrics.

The Editor in Chief and the Associate Editors of Hormone Research in Paediatrics makes up the Selection Committee and potential winners are elected in the Spring. The decision is notified to the authors by July.

The prize is generously offered by the journal's publisher S. Karger. It is awarded at the ESPE Annual meeting and given to the first author of the winning article.
