This Francois Brenot Award will be given to the most promising young investigator under 35 in the pulmonary vascular sciences whose presentation at the ERS Annual Congress (poster or lecture) on any aspect of the pulmonary circulation is deemed to be the best.  The pulmonary circulation group will select each year a panel of three senior researchers, a clinician, a physiologist and a molecular biologist to judge the lectures and posters of those under consideration for the award. After final decision, the award will be presented at the appropriate time during the ERS Annual Congress.
