EACTA prizes Outstanding Research Prize 2004 Jouko Jalonen Immediate Past Scientific Secretary EACTA has announced and Outstanding Research Prize of 3000 € a few years ago. It is supposed to be awarded every third year to a person who has made a fundamental contribution to the subspecialty, for example either by altering clinical practice, identifying a basic science mechanism or developing an important research method. We have seen many superb presentations of excellent and sophisticated studies in EACTA meetings during past years, usually given by junior members of well-established and productive research groups. The Scientific Committee, who has the privilege to pick the recipient of this prize, had difficulties to identify a person who would be above other equally merited researchers. Therefore, the Committee looked a group of researchers rather than an individual, a group that has made an invaluable contribution to EACTA by presenting many high quality studies with an outstanding manner in several EACTA meetings and who also had won previous presentation prizes. Of course there are also several groups that have contributed enormously to EACTA meetings during years, but nevertheless, one group has done this in the widest front and highest numbers. This group is the Cardiovascular Anaesthesia Research Group of Georg-August University, Goettingen. They have published forty abstracts in the EACTA meeting Supplements and won five presentation prizes (and previously there were fewer prizes than now!) during the past ten years under leadership of Prof. Hans Sonntag. Successful researchers as Andreas Weyland, Andreas Hoeft, Wolfgang Buhre, Heidrun Stephan, Frank Mielck, Stephan Kazmaier and a few others have grown in this group, given these presentations and continued a successful research career later elsewhere. The award and the diploma were given in the Prize-Giving Ceremony on Friday 11 June in EACTA 2004 meeting in London. Prof Hans Sonntag, the long-standing leader of the group, is currently working as a Visiting Professor at the University of Charleston, West Virginia, and another long-standing member of the group, Prof. Andreas Weyland received the prize to transport it to Goettingen.

Deadline for submitting abstracts for EACTA 2012 extended until 22nd January 2012
