DAVID GLICK LECTURESHIP

The David Glick Lecture, established in 1982 by an anonymous donation, will be presented at each International Congress of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry in recognition of the contributions of David Glick. The Lecturer selected should be a prominent histochemist or cytochemist, who will be granted travel expenses, a cash honorarium and a scroll or certificate to mark the award*.

* Travel expenses, a cash honorarium, and a scroll or certificate will be covered by the Histochemical Society. The registration fee and the congress dinner fee will be covered by IFSHC.

PAUL NAKANE PRIZE

‘Paul Nakane Prize’ in Histochemistry and Cytochemistry will be conferred at every quadrennial intarnational congress. The prize is intended to be a lifetime achievement award that is presented to an individual who has shown outstanding international leadership to advancing the fields of histochemistry and cytochemistry. The prize includes a plaque and $ 1500 honorarium*.

* A plaque, a $1,500 honorarium, the registration fee, and the congress dinner fee will be covered by IFSHC.

YOUNG HISTOCHEMISTS AWARDS

In every international congress, each member society of IFSHC can nominate one young scientist among their young members of under the age of 35 for the ‘Young Histochemist Award’. The Young Histochemists will deliver an oral presentation of their research at the Congress. In exchange, they will receive free registration and accommodation in addition to a travel award delivered in cash on site to help cover in part the cost of airfare.
