Individuals and research groups have until March 30, 2020 to apply for the DGAO sponsorship award, which is endowed with 30.000 euros. Previously unpublished scientific research projects in the field of aligner orthodontics are awarded.
The DGAO sponsorship award is now very popular. This was shown not least by the numerous entries in recent years. The board of directors therefore increased the prize money to 24 euros by resolution of November 2019, 30.000.
The research prize is awarded every two years by the German Society for Aligner Orthodontics (DGAO) on the occasion of the scientific congress for aligner orthodontics. The next time this will take place at the 6th Scientific Congress for Aligner Orthodontics from November 19th to 21th, 2020 in Cologne.
The award committee consists of three external, academically experienced orthodontic specialists who make their decisions to the best of their knowledge and belief.
Interested parties should apply to the office of the DGAO eV, Lindenfühlstraße 30c, 2020 Stuttgart by March 29, 70176 (postmark).
