(Award discontinued after the 2012 Meeting)

To be presented to three distinguished, young investigators (not older than 35 years) who have performed promising research in the field of clinical or experimental hypertension and presented on this subject at the respective ISH and/or ESH meeting(s). The Awards presented at ISH meetings are designed for investigators working in countries suffering from economic hardship.
